Jermain Defoe's goal scoring prowess has put him on Barcelona's raidar

Sunday November 29,2009

By John Richardson

BARCELONA are tracking Spurs striker Jermain Defoe following the England star’s goal exploits this season.

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