No further details were made available by either club, although he is believed to have signed a three-year contract with the North Londoners.
The player confirmed the move, saying on Twitter: "I'm back. Tottenham here I come. I'm hungry for goals... Get ready".
He later added on the Spurs website: "I am pleased to be signing for Spurs on a permanent basis after finally agreeing my departure with Manchester City.
“It may have taken longer than expected but I am delighted to be back at Tottenham Hotspur. I really enjoyed my time here last season and I am hoping we can achieve great things together again."
Tottenham lost 2-1 at Newcastle in their first Premier League match of the new season, with Jermain Defoe - the only senior striker left at the club - on target for Andre Villas-Boas's side.
Adebayor joined City from Arsenal in 2009, hitting 14 league goals in his first season before falling out of favour with Roberto Mancini and spending time on loan at Real Madrid and Spurs.
The clubs had agreed a deal in principle at the start of the summer, but it was reported that personal terms - notably a severance package between the player and City - had posed a stumbling block.
The transfer fee is understood to be in the region of £5 million, with Adebayor taking a significant wage cut on the estimated £170,000 per week he was earning at City.
