ST: Jermain Defoe
Tottenham’s fifth all-time top scorer Jermain Defoe gets a place in Spurs greatest Premier League XI Up top.

We all have fond memories of Defoe, and he consistently found the back of the net for us on countless occasions, making him a shoe-in for this one.

A shout out to Teddy Sheringham and Robbie Keane who were also great strikers for Spurs in their day, but Defoe seemed the only option to partner Kane up-front for this team.
