Defoe started his Premier League career with West Ham as the then-young striker scored 18 goals in 74 league matches before making his move to Tottenham Hotspur after the Hammers were relegated.
His first spell at Tottenham saw the striker scoring 43 goals from 139 appearances before moving onto to join Portsmouth for a season and a half before starting his second spell with Spurs.
The second spell with Spurs can be said to be a tad better than the first one as the striker bagged 48 league goals from 137 appearances. After almost 9 seasons with Spurs, Defoe made the move to MLS with Toronto FC but the Premier League was not done with the striker as Sunderland came calling for Defoe almost 6 months later.
At Sunderland Defoe was the go-to man as the former England international scored crucial goals to keep Sunderland away from the relegation zone. The Black Cats had Defoe to thank for, on more than one occasion in their desperate bid to survive relegation.
Jermaine Defoe scored an impressive 34 goals from 87 appearances, but the final season with the Black Cats proved futile as Sunderland went down while Defoe made the move to former club AFC Bournemouth.
A season and a half were spent with the Cherries with Defoe making most of his appearances from the bench. The January transfer window this season saw the striker moving to the Scottish league, joining former England teammate Steven Gerrard managed Rangers on an 18-month loan deal.
Jermaine Defoe has so far made 496 appearances in the Premier League scoring 162 goals (18 West Ham, 91 Tottenham, 15 Portsmouth, 34 Sunderland and 4 Bournemouth), making him the 7th in the list of all-time Premier League goal scorers. Defoe is also the second active player with most goals in the Premier League with Wayne Rooney leading with 208 goals.
The fourth-place finish in the 2009-10 season was the closest Defoe got to winning the Premier League.
