Everyone’s saying the same thing as Jermain Defoe rejoins Bournemouth

Jermain Defoe is a Bournemouth player (again).

17 years on from his season-long loan spell at the club as a teenager, the England international has re-joined the south coast club. Defoe returned to the Premier League with Sunderland in January 2015 after a brief spell in Major League Soccer with Toronto. His goals for the Black Cats during the second half of the 2015/16 season were enough to them in the top flight. However, despite scoring a further 15 Premier League goals last season - a tally that helped him earn a return to the England team - Sunderland finished the season bottom of the league and 16 points from safety. Their relegation to the Championship allowed the 34-year-old to activate a clause in his contract which allowed him to leave on a free. A statement on Bournemouth's website has confirmed that the striker has inked a three-year deal club at The Cherries, something which, given the player's age, has come as a surprise to many. https://twitter.com/_tstroth/status/880422524881907712   https://twitter.com/Seyyii_/status/880420794559594501 https://twitter.com/AntCrick/status/880423128278630400 https://twitter.com/LRCBrowning/status/880422461195649024 https://twitter.com/scottmac32/status/880422437938180096 https://twitter.com/_liamlane/status/880421925318782978 https://twitter.com/CallumWatson_3/status/880409980117164034 https://twitter.com/Pauleddy29/status/880407831614300162 “It’s great to be back and I’m really looking forward to this challenge,” Defoe said. “When the opportunity came about to return to AFC Bournemouth I just knew it was the right one. “It was an easy decision, joining a top team with a top manager. It’s a great place to be. “The Bournemouth fans know that every time I pull the shirt on I will give 100 per cent, and the one thing I can guarantee is goals.”
