Fat Cat Defoe

JERMAIN DEFOE has agreed a whopping £14million pay deal to return to English football with Sunderland.

The Black Cats will give hitman Defoe a 3½-year contract worth £80,000 a week in the hope he can fire the goals that will secure Premier League safety

Former England and Tottenham Hotspur striker Jermain Defoe will make a sensational return to the Premier League after The Sun revealed that the striker will sign for Sunderland.

According to the tabloid, Defoe has already agreed a £14 million deal to return to English football with the Black Cats “and the former England star could make his Sunderland debut on Saturday — at old club Tottenham.”

This is far from a thunderbolt out of the blue as Defoe has recently been linked with a number of Premier League clubs after failing to settle in MLS.

He has been training with Spurs' Under-21 squad in preparation for the new season. Relegation-threatened Sunderland could certainly do with someone of Defoe’s calibre, as Gus Poyet’s side have netted just 18 goals this season.

Although it seems a hefty fee, the paper’s view that Jozy Altidore could be involved in an exchange deal makes this a possibility.

Furthermore, this transfer suits all parties involved, Sunderland get a proven Premier League striker, Toronto FC get a designated player off their books and Altidore gets the opportunity to rebuild his career in the US.
