Defoe praise for teammates

Last updated : 01 May 2005 By Alistair Murray

Jermain Defoe believes the four strikers are all working well together and competition for places in the side has improved the teams all round performance this season.

"There are a lot of young players here plus older players with experience. Just look up front - this season everyone has played their part. Fredi (Kanoute) has scored goals, Robbie (Keane) has scored goals and then Mido came in and scored twice on his debut.

"When everyone is playing well and with confidence it makes all the difference for a striker," he said.
