Spurs reportedly offer Jermain Defoe plus cash as they attempt to lure Christian Benteke away from Aston Villa.

Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly offered Jermain Defoe to Aston Villa as part of a deal to bring Christian Benteke to White Hart Lane.

According to The Mirror, the North London side are willing to hand over Defoe plus cash for the 22-year-old Belgian, who scored 19 league goals in his debut Premier League season.

Atletico Madrid are also said to be interested in Benteke, eyeing him as a replacement for Radamel Falcao, who has joined Monaco.

Villa are believed to be in the mood to reject any advances, remaining keen that Benteke will sign a new deal in Birmingham.
