Transfer linked with : TORONTO F.C , WEST HAM UNITED, FULHAM

It’s hard times for Jermain Defoe at Spurs, following their lavishly spending summer transfer window. And its going to be worse soon. He was out of AVB’s plan’s but with Roberto Soldado‘s misfiring there was some hope for him. But there are reports that AVB is looking for another “Poacher” in order to win a silverware with spurs. Defoe has been outstanding in this seasons Europa League campaign score 7 goal’s in 5 appearances. We can see that he was their super-sub this season with most goals coming from him as a substitute. The thing are similar for him in the England’s National team too. He has most caps in the side as a substitute. He has so far 19 goals for his country in 55 appearances most of which coming as a substitute. With the form of Wayne Rooney and Daniel Sturridge, there is no way he will get into the first team. But the first important thing is to get into that squad.

Toronto F.C and West Ham are the favorites to sign the 31 year old forward. But there are rumors that Fulham are also interested in him in order to push them from relegation.
