Following Tottenham Hotspur striker Jermain Defoe's onslaught at Hull City - where Spurs triumphed 5-1 with the 26-year-old tallying thrice - Harry Redknapp was quick to laud both the display, and the player, claiming "electric" Defoe was "unplayable".

"It was a terrific exhibition of attacking football," Redknapp reflected on the official website of FIFA.

"The movement, passing, pace - I played with four forwards and really took it to them. We looked dangerous every time we had the ball."

He continued, "Defoe looked almost unplayable, his form is absolutely electric.

"He looks stronger than I have ever seen him and I have known him since he was 14," Redknapp said, perhaps indicating to national manager Fabio Capello that Defoe is a worthy candidate for a first-team starting role with England should he continue to produce such scintillating performances.

"He has done a lot of work in the gym in the summer and he looks even more explosive.

"If he continues to play like that he has got no problems," he concluded.
