Jermain Defoe says he does not expect to leave Tottenham
this summer.
The England striker has been linked with a host of clubs over the
summer and fresh reports have claimed that Portsmouth are ready to
mount a fresh bid.
However, Defoe, who has just flown to South Africa for Spurs'
pre-season tour of the country, has admitted he is not expecting to
leave White Hart Lane.
"At the end of the day, if I was going to leave I would have gone
by now," he told the Daily Mirror.
"The fans know I love the club, all my friends are here so I am
just looking forward to putting on a Spurs shirt and scoring many
goals.
"There has been competition for places for the past few years
now.
"There's so much quality in the dressing room that it keeps you on
your toes so you've got to play well and that is only good for the
club."
