Defoe linked with England return

Toronto FC striker Jermaine Defoe could return to England when the transfer window reopens, according to the Mail Online.

The former Tottenham Hotspur man, who turned 32 yesterday, swapped the Premier League for the MLS back in January, and has gone on to score twelve goals in seventeen appearances for the Canadian outfit.

Toronto have four games remaining in the regular season, and Defoe is keen to help them make the play-offs with talks regarding his future expected to commence after their match against New England on October 26th.

Before his move abroad, Defoe spent five years at White Hart Lane in what was his second spell with the North London club, while he has also turned out for Portsmouth and had a loan spell with Bournemouth having begun his career with West Ham United.

He has fifty-five senior caps for England, but hasn’t featured for them since scoring his eighteenth and nineteenth international goals in an 8-0 victory against San Marino, who Roy Hodgson’s men face tomorrow evening in their second Euro 2016 qualifier, over eighteen months ago.
