Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor admits the Champions League clash against Roma will be difficult but he cannot wait to play against Francesco Totti.
The Giallorossi travel to the Emirates in February to fight for a place in the quarter finals of the Champions League in what promises to be an explosive encounter.
It was Adebayor's goal which knocked Milan out of the competition last term and he is hoping to cause another Italian upset this season.
"Roma are a difficult opponent," Adebayor told Il Corriere Dello Sport. "For us it will be a hard and tricky game because Roma are a team who have done really well in Europe over the last few years.
"They also have Totti, he is a great player. Of course, there is still some time before Roma and we have to recover in the league and win many games, then we can think about them."
Adebayor was at the Emirates Palace hotel in Abu Dhabi picking up his new African Ballon d'Or award and he is delighted with the achievement.
"It's a massive satisfaction for me and the best personal award of my career so far," he smiled. "I have always dreamed of winning a prize like this from when I was young, and I am extremely happy.
"I hope I am here next year and win it again."
The Lupi are likely to take Adebayor's warning seriously. However, Totti may not play against Arsenal after picking up a hamstring injury which has ruled him out for two months.
