Adebayor from his contract at the club by mutual consent.
The 31 year-old almost joined Aston Villa in the summer transfer
window and that move could now be revived.
A statement on Spurs' official website on Sunday morning said: "We can
confirm that we have reached a mutual agreement with Emmanuel
Adebayor which will see him released from his contract with the club.
"We wish Emmanuel well for the future."
Adebayor was told he had no future at Spurs by manager Mauricio
Pochettino and was not included in the Argentine's 25-man Premier
League squad.
He had also not been allocated a squad number at White Hart Lane and
had refused to go on international duty with Togo.
"I would not hesitate. If he had the desire to want to come and play
football again, I would have taken him in a heartbeat," Sherwood said.
"We still have to respect his decision, whatever he makes. It's his - I
can't influence it.
"Am I disappointed? I'm disappointed for him because he's not going to
play. He's too good a talent - I've seen that first hand - to not play any
football, but unfortunately I don't think there's any window open for him
now.
"If he wanted to play in Qatar he would have gone there a long time
ago. It's hard to say. I was going to say he's not in it for the money but,
genuinely, he wants to play at the top level.
"It's not financial. It's easy to say that when you're on his money, but he
would genuinely play for nothing. It's not his fault he's not part of their
plans."
