Defoe has been out with a broken bone in his foot since the end of January.
“At Portsmouth I played with Milan Baros, he wasn’t massive, he’s not a target man but he had good movement and we caused a lot problems,” Defoe told Sky Sports News.
“For some reason people say we can’t play together but when I sit down with Robbie, he just says it is people’s opinions and when I signed for Spurs first time it was brilliant and I really enjoyed it.
“Hopefully I can do it again, I can’t wait to get back in there as the boys are playing really well.
“But the physios are calming me down as they know the bone has to heal in an injury like this.”
