Swansea City boss Michael Laudrup compares Tottenham Hotspur's Jermain Defoe to Liverpool talisman Luis Suarez.

Swansea City manager Michael Laudrup has praised Tottenham Hotspur striker Jermain Defoe, claiming that he is "like Luis Suarez".

Laudrup's side travel to White Hart Lane for the Premier League clash against Andre Villas-Boas's men on Sunday.

The Danish coach described Defoe as one of the best players in the league and compared his movement to Liverpool forward Suarez.

"Defoe for me is a top player in the league," said Laudrup.

"He has good movement and he is very difficult to catch.

"He is another one like Luis Suarez. He is not standing there, he is going to the left and right, we all saw the goal he scored against West Ham. It was a fantastic goal."

Defoe has scored nine goals in the Premier League so far this season.
