Redknapp priced out of Defoe move

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp has closed the door on Portsmouth striker Jermain Defoe returning to White Hart Lane but he is waiting to see if Middlesbrough will sell Stewart Downing.

Redknapp’s priority in the January transfer window is a forward and a left midfielder but he expects Defoe, whom he signed for Pompey 11 months ago, to be leading an attack elsewhere.
