Defoe hints at Tottenham exit

Tottenham forward Jermain Defoe admits that he could leave Spurs in search for first team football.

The 29-year-old is eager to make England Euro 2012 squad and that is one of the reasons why he could leave White Hart Lane in January.

“It has crossed my mind. Leading into a massive tournament you want to make sure you’re on that plane. Having had that buzz before, you want it again,” Defoe told talkSPORT.

“The problem is I just need to play regularly. The other forwards are playing regularly and scoring goals so they deserve to be in the squad. So it’s about me playing regularly and trying to get back in the squad.”

Defoe says it would be hard for him to leave Spurs, but admits it could be the only option.

“I love the club. I’m Spurs through and through. I’ve been here for a number of years, my family love the club and the fans been with me since day one.

“It’s difficult to think about leaving the club. When you’re playing for a club you love it’s such a great feeling. But I’m 29 now, I just need to be playing football regularly. That’s all that matters.”

Liverpool target on the move

Ivory Coast international Gervinho could be on the move next summer as he doesn’t plan to accept Lille’s latest contract offer.

The 23-year-old forward has attracted a lot of attention with his performances for Lille and he is thought to be looking for a new challenge.

Les Gones have offered the player a new and improved contract as his current one is set to expire in June 2012, but Gervinho is unlikely to accept it as he plans to leave the club at the end of the season.

The latest news will alert a number of interested clubs, such as Liverpool, Tottenham and Atletico Madrid since Lille could be forced to sell the forward in the summer should he reject a contract extension.

Reina hints at United interest

Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina has not drawn a line through a potential move to rival club Manchester United next season.

The Spain international has kept four straight clean sheets in the English Premier League to help the Reds catapult up the table to sixth place, as part of the side’s rejuvenation under Kenny Dalglish.

The 28-year-old Reina – who defended the move of compatriot Fernando Torres to Chelsea on the final day of the January transfer window – acknowledged the forthcoming retirement of United shot-stopper Edwin Van der Sar at season’s end and did not guarantee his future at Anfield next season and beyond.

“Yes, well Van der Sar will hang up his gloves in the summer so of course they (United) are looking,” Reina told Spanish radio station Ondo Sera.

“I can’t do anything. I can’t say anything logically as I have a contract with Liverpool.”

“Of course one likes to fight for titles and be in a team that does that. We always fought to be in the Champions League and try to win the title. But unfortunately it hasn’t been the case in the last couple of years.”

Reina hinted that his future playing on Merseyside is reliant upon Liverpool finishing in the top four. The Reds sit six points shy of that spot, though their return to form has revived hopes they can sneak into a Champions League spot.

“I won’t lie, I want to play in the Champions League and challenge for titles,” he said.

Ryan Babel admits he would return to Ajax if the two clubs can reach an agreement over the transfer.

With Liverpool eager to sign Ajax star Luis Suarez, the Reds could include Ryan Babel in the deal taking the Uruguayan to Anfield.

The Dutch international would have nothing against such a deal and would even be prepared to take a pay cut.

“The transfer of Suarez to Liverpool opens the door for me to go to Ajax,” he told De Telegraaf.

“If Liverpool and Ajax – whether in combination with Luis – can reach an agreement over me I will surely come to the club.

“For the chance to play I am willing to settle for far less pay.

“For a player of my age it is important to be playing week in week out.”
