Portsmouth's executive chairman Peter Storrie has revealed that striker Jermain Defoe wants to leave the club.

The frontman, 26, has been linked with Tottenham Hotspur, Aston Villa and Manchester city, despite having been at Fratton Park for just under a year, scoring 17 goals in 36 appearances for Pompey.

Storrie told The News: "It looks like Jermain wants to go. That is something we will be speaking to him about.

"If Jermain goes it will be at our price and if there is an offer which appeals.

"We have always said we will not keep people who do not want to play for Portsmouth Football Club."
