King confident Defoe will stay

Ledley King warned Tottenham to expect offers for Jermain Defoe in January - but remains confident his England colleague will stay at White Hart Lane.

Defoe scored another splendid goal – his 15th strike of the season at club level – in Spurs’ 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace yesterday to enhance his reputation as one of the top strikers in the Barclays Premiership.
