Besiktas keen on Tottenham striker Defoe

Besiktas are chasing Tottenham striker Jermain Defoe.

The Daily Mail says Besiktas have switched their attention to Tottenham striker Defoe after reaching an impasse in their pursuit of his team-mate Emmanuel Adebayor.

The Turks, managed by former West Ham man Slaven Bilic, are ready to rival QPR for the 29-year-old England international and are willing to pay a salary of around £3m a year.
