Rangers veteran Jermain Defoe has paid tribute to Tottenham over their new stadium.

Defoe attended Tottenham's final game of the season against Aston Villa when 10,000 fans were inside the ground.

“I'm blown away," he told the club's website. “It's my first time here. I've driven past a few times and there was the Legends game (against Inter, one of the stadium's test events in March, 2019) but I couldn't make it.

“It's unbelievable. I can just imagine when it's full, the atmosphere must be incredible. I look forward to that. I'd love to play here one day, just to walk out there would be amazing. What a job the Club has done here."

Defoe also recalled: “I remember my first day at Spurs Lodge.

“Gus Poyet, Jamie Redknapp, Ledley King, all those boys, I was so excited to sign, and when I scored in my first game, that was it. Portsmouth at White Hart Lane. I scored past Shaka Hislop. It just took off from there."
