Tottenham striker Jermain Defoe, who is believed to be a target for Liverpool, has reiterated his frustration after falling out of favour under Harry Redknapp this season.

Redknapp has preferred to start with on-loan Manchester City striker Emmanuel Adebayor up front this season, leading to speculation that Defoe could leave White Hart Lane this month.

Redknapp insists the England internaitonal is not for sale, despite his agent informing the north London club that his client wants to move during the January transfer window.

But while Defoe admits he wants to be playing regular first-team football, he insists he will not actively seek a move.

He told Sky Sports News: "At the end of the day it's not a case of me saying I want to go here, I'm not playing, I want to leave the club.

"I've been here six years, I've never said that once. I think the fans know that.

"It's just a case of me playing. I could understand if I was 19, 20 and I had time on my hands but I'm 29 now and, like I've always said, all I want to do is play football. It's as simple as that."

Spurs play Manchester City this weekend and with Adebayor ineligible to face his parent club, Deofe could start.

And he added: "As it stands I'm a Tottenham player and if I do play against Manchester City I'll be fully committed. I'm sure everyone knows that at the club."
