BARCELONA WATCH JERMAIN DEFOE AND ROBINHO

Barcelona, who are also tracking Manchester City’s Brazilian star Robinho, have been alerted by Jermain Defoe’s outstanding form.

Defoe, a certainty to feature in Fabio Capello’s World Cup plans, has struck 15 goals for both club and country this season.

Now Barcelona boss Pep Guardiola has ordered scouting reports on the former West Ham and Pompey star.

And if Defoe continues to deliver, Barca could make a move to land him. Spurs boss Harry Redknapp would resist all overtures for a striker he has nurtured throughout his career.

But if tempted to sell, Redknapp would want a big profit on the £15million which brought the 27-year-old back to White Hart Lane.
