Jermain Defoe looking for Spurs exit

The agent of Jermain Defoe has told Tottenham Hotspur that the striker wants to leave the club.

The England international is thought to want more first-team action ahead of this summer's European Championships.

However, Spurs boss Harry Redknapp is refusing to let the 29-year-old leave White Hart Lane.

"[Chairman Daniel Levy] spoke to his agent who said he is not happy because he wants to play and he has got a few clubs in for him," Redknapp said. "I am sure he has got a few clubs in for him but we are not selling him.

"He is saying this club wants him and that club wants him – that is how they make their money. He is not moving anywhere, though. He is on contract here and is a big player for us."

Spurs host Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League on Saturday.
