Jermain Defoe admits he was an emotional wreck at Tottenham.

The Portsmouth hitman has scored eight goals in seven games since moving from White Hart Lane for £7.5million in January.

Defoe, 25, had made just three league starts for Spurs this season.

He blasted: “There were times after games when I would sit in my car and have to stop myself from crying as I was driving home.

“As a footballer you just want to play football.

"You can’t understand why no one’s come up to you with an explanation — even though I was playing in games the team won.

“I believe if I play every week, I will score every week.”
