Jermaine Defoe is frustrated at failing to make an impact on the Tottenham Hotspur first-team this season. Defoe, 28, has netted just four times after falling out of favour with coach Harry Redknapp. “I want to help the club achieve things, win trophies and get in the Champions League, but when you feel like you are working hard, training hard and being professional, and then for some reason you are not playing, it is difficult,” he told Sky Sports News.  “It is frustrating. At the end of the day I am ambitious. I want to play in every game and score goals, especially when you score goals for a fantastic club like Tottenham. “I have always been like that from the first day I walked through the door and I truly believe that if I am playing games I will score goals. I think my record shows that." Defoe has represented the Three Lions 46 times at senior level, scoring 15 goals.
