The Sunday Express reports that Barcelona are keen to snaffle the 27-year-old, who has already struck 15 goals for club and country in this campaign, including five against Wigan last week.
Barca boss Pep Guardiola has demanded an urgent supply of scouting reports on the striker, with Spurs manager Harry Redknapp set to vehemently reject any bids for the £15 million man he brought back to White Hart Lane.
I find this a little strange because Guardiola sold Eto’o becaseu he wanted a different type of striker/centre foward (Zlatan) and now he is interested in Defoe who is similar in style to Eto’o.
