Alan Pardew not interested in Jermain Defoe

Alan Pardew rules out an attempt to lure Toronto striker Jermain Defoe to Crystal Palace during the winter transfer window.

Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew has insisted that he has not enquired about signing Jermain Defoe this month.

The Toronto hitman has found himself heavily linked with a winter move to Selhurst Park, with bookmakers also suspending betting on the move materialising.

However, Pardew, who worked with the 32-year-old striker at West Ham United, says that a reunion is not on the cards.

"Personally, no [I have not enquired about him] but I know Jermain from my West Ham days and I know what he can do," he told reporters.

"It will be interesting to see if he comes on the market and if he pitches in. He will probably have a couple of choices, I should think."

Defoe has also been linked with Queens Park Rangers, Hull City, Leicester City and Sunderland in the mid-season window thus far.
