Tottenham icon Jermain Defoe took his latest steps towards a career in coaching last night… at Arsenal’s famed Hale End training base.
Defoe is recognised as one of Spurs’ greatest ever strikers and is revered among their fanbase after scoring 143 goals for the club - placing him seventh in Tottenham’s all-time leading scorers list.
The former England international is currently a Tottenham academy coach and ambassador but Mail Sport can reveal Defoe entered enemy territory on Thursday evening as he continued his own development at Arsenal’s academy HQ.
It is understood Defoe was part of the coaching team for an Under-14s session at the Gunners’ junior facility in east London on Thursday evening, as he provided his expert knowledge to the young prospects at Arsenal’s junior base.
