Betting Special: Where next for Jermain Defoe?

The Spurs striker has spent much of his career sitting on the subs bench, and at almost 30, first-team football must be a priority. Al Hain-Cole weighs up his options for a move

Jermain Defoe of England

Jermain Defoe must be sick of the sight of the substitutes' bench, having spent most of the last year watching from the sidelines for both club and country.

The Tottenham striker started just 11 games for the north Londoners last season, whilst his Euro 2012 campaign consisted of a frustrating 15 minute run-out against France.

With his feet getting itchier by the day, it is no surprise to see the striker being linked with a move away from White Hart Lane, and there will be no shortage of interest in a man who has notched 195 goals in 470 career matches.
