Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez is reportedly lining up a £10millon summer transfer bid for England international striker
Jermaine Defoe - presumably for after the World Cup finals.
Benitez already has
Peter Crouch at Anfield, with Defoe playing next to him it will be a real little and large show. Defoe is a good striker, especially on the floor and around the edge of the penalty box. Playing next to Crouch regularly for Liverpool won't hurt the England team options up front.
The only problem with the possible Defoe and Crouch partnership is
Tottenham boss Martin Jol is very unlikely to want to sell Defoe to any top level English club. So the odds on Defoe joining Liverpool for next season must be slim.
My odds on Defoe leaving Spurs for the Reds after the World Cup..
Defoe To Join Liverpool Prices
Defoe To Stay At Spurs = 1/2
Defoe To Sign For Liverpool = 2/1

i`ll have some of that 2-1, defoe to join liverpool in your dreams, 10 million, come back when your serious, you couldnt afford owen so what makes you think you could afford defoe?
if u will give me those odds on jrmaine staying at spurs, ill take it. and anyone who wants it ill give 4/1 on him joining liverpool.
oh by the way im a spurs afn and jermaine defoe is a pile of *@*@ and id take my grandma in part exchange
4/1 for Defoe to join Liverpool is too big.
He is out of favour at the moment, Jol is playing Robbie Keane which won't please Defoe much.
Additionally, Defoe has a history of not being slow on coming forward when it comes to leaving a football club when the mood takes him.
As witnessed by the poster above, 2/1 is a decent price, let alone 4/1.
Liverpool sign Dafoe ! They have more chance of signing Father Christmas, at least he,s got a red coat !!
