Aston Villa boss Martin O'Neill is ready to splash out £9 million of Randy Lerner's money on Tottenham striker Jermain Defoe.
The Mirror says O'Neill wants a new striker after offloading Kevin Phillips to West Brom and has identified Defoe as a leading target as the England youngster's Spurs nightmare continues.
The 23-year-old started Spurs' opening-day defeat to Bolton but has since been relegated to the bench, with Dimitar Berbatov and Robbie Keane getting the nod in the last two games.
