    <span class="titolo">Chelsea & Spurs In Shock Defoe-SWP Swap?</span></p><span class="sommario">With the transfer wondow due to close on Friday, a surprise swap deal between Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur gas been revealed, involving Shaun Wright-Phillips and Jermain Defoe.</span>

    The newspaper also claims that if that proposed deal falls through, champions Manchester United are poised to make a bid for Defoe. </p>

    According to The Sun, Chelsea want a straight Defoe-for-SWP swap - but Spurs are apparently insisting their striker is worth SWP PLUS about &pound;4 million in cash. </p>

    While it is no surprise thatr Defoe is seeking to leave Spurs, where he vhas become a bit-part player behind Dimitar Bebatov, Darren Bent and Robbie Keane, it seems odd that Chelsea are prepared to sell Wright-Phillips. SWP has begun the season in outstanding form on Chelsea's right-wing and is playing the best football of his Stamford Bridge career</p>

    However according to SunSport, both players have agreed to the transfer - with just btheir clubs arguing over the financial details.</p>

    Chelsea allegedly enquired about Defoe, 24, to Spurs, who replied that they would consider releasing him if the Blues included winger Wright-Phillips, 25, as part of any deal.</p>

    Spurs claim that Chelsea had previously agreed a &pound;10.5 million fee for SWP with both West Ham and Aston Villa in the previous transfer window, but the player refused to move. In contrast, Spurs have rejected all offers for Defoe whom they value at &pound;15 million.</p>

    United, meanwhile, are prepoared to make a cash-only offer for Defoe, whose current contract at White Hart Lane expires in 2009 and who has shown no eagerness to discuss a new one, having allegedly fallen out with manager Martin Jol.</p>
