REDKNAPP DENIES DEFOE EXIT

Harry Redknapp has denied rumours that Jermain Defoe could be set for an Arsenal move. Defoe was reportedly linked with a move away from White Hart Lane after falling out of favour with Redknapp last season.

"I didn't see that, I couldn't see that one happening," Redknapp told reporters.

The England striker struggled with injury for much of last season having torn ligaments in his ankle during a friendly with Switzerland last September, and has struggled to get back to full fitness ever since.

CHIVERS CALLS FOR STRIKER FOCUS

Martin Chivers has said that Tottenham can finish in the Champions League qualification places only if they score a lot of goals.

Spurs have scored just three goals in their last six matches and all of those goals came in a 3-2 win over Stoke earlier this month.

Now the former England and Lillywhites striker has challenged Jermain Defoe to step and be the man to secure Harry Redknapp’s men a place in next season’s competition.

SPURS LOOKING FOR GOALS FROM DEFOE

Tottenham are looking for more goals from Jermaine Defoe, who has not scored as much as his talent suggests.

Can a team containing attacking talent like Jermain Defoe, Roman Pavlyuchenko, Aaron Lennon and Luka Modric really be so wasteful? Spurs are considered one of the most dangerous attacking forces yet, paradoxically, the lack of a prolific goalscorer could halt their progress this season.

DEFOE DREAMING ABOUT FINAL

Jermain Defoe is dreaming about his team facing Barcelona in the Champions League final. Excitement burning in Jermain Defoe' eyes, Defoe said: “Wow, can you imagine? A Spurs Barcelona final… Imagine the fans. It would be amazing.

“Once you get through to the quarters – and we are not yet looking past AC Milan – then I believe anything can happen.

DEFOE SCORES DOUBLE

Tottenham Hotspur striker Jermain Defoe scored a spectacular double against Charlton athletic in the FA Cup. Spurs put a sluggish first half behind them to take the lead through pacy youngster Andros Townsend, who fired past Rob Elliot to mark his debut with a goal.

Defoe, who started his career with the Addicks, made it 2-0 with a low drive before rounding off the victory by stabbing home from 18 yards for his fifth of the season.

Townsend won a free-kick in the 14th minute which Niko Kranjcar curled just wide.

DEFOE READY TO WIN SILVERWARE

Jermain Defoe has said that he is ready to make up for lost time that he suffered due to injury and wants to win a silverware this season. To make matters worse for the prolific forward, he then got sent-off at Aston Villa and received a three-match ban. But he is now back from suspension and is desperate to secure his place in the first-team.

HARRY ACCEPTS RED CARD

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp has accepted the red card for Jermain Defoe in the Aston Villa match. Jermain Defoe was shown a straight red card for an elbow in the face of James Collins. It appeared to be harsh because although Defoe led with his arm in jumping for a high delivery, his eyes were focused on the ball at the time.

DEFOE LOOKING FORWARD TO LATER STAGES OF THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

Jermain Defoe has said that he is looking forward very anticipatedly for the last 16 round of the champions league. Spurs went ahead three times during the game, only to be pegged back by a resolute home side.

By confirming top position, they will now face a team who has finished in second place in their respective group - thus avoiding the likes of David Villa's Barcelona and Cristiano Ronaldo's Real Madrid.

DEFOE SEES FUTURE SUCCESS FOR SPURS

Jermaine Defoe has said that he sees Tottenham overtaking Manchester united when it comes to success. The striker, who is set for his first start since September against Liverpool on Sunday, has urged his team-mates to duplicate the Old Trafford ethos.
