London - Tottenham Hotspur have agreed a fee with Portsmouth to re-sign striker Jermain Defoe.
The deal, which is expected to be around 15 million pounds, will see Defoe return to Spurs less than a year after he joined Portsmouth for 7.5 million pounds (11 million dollars).
The move will see Defoe reunited with manager Harry Redknapp, who signed him from Spurs last year before joining the London club late
in 2008.
Defoe is due to undergo a medical at Tottenham later on Tuesday.
The 26-year-old scored 17 goals in 36 appearances for Portsmouth, having spent almost four years at White Hart Lane between 2004 and 2008.
