Sky Sports understands that a recent training ground bust-up is causing tension between a number of different Tottenham players, with Defoe being the focus of these tensions. With recent news that Defoe is considering a transfer request due to being confused about his squad status and value within the team.
This seems a huge u-turn from Defoe with him calling for Tottenham to strengthen the squad with new strikers and with the likes of Christian Benteke, Lorenzo Insigne and Neal Maupay joining the ranks Defoe has found himself down the pecking order.
Defoe told Sky Sports: "I'm a forward but I can't be the number 4 choice at a club. Over the years, the clubs who've won titles have had several experienced strikers, not youngsters."
Defoe is now linked with a move away from Tottenham with David Ginola not willing to let a player become bigger than a club.
