Many Sunderland fans have been left buzzing over some transfer news that has emerged involving Jermain Defoe.
Speaking to talkSPORT, the free agent revealed that the Stadium of Light faithful is one of the options that he has to get back into playing football after leaving Glasgow Rangers earlier this month.
“My phone’s gone mad! If you’re phone’s ringing at 39 it’s a good thing!
“I’ve got a few options! Obviously the Sunderland one’s well documented.”
Defoe has been linked with a return to the Black Cats ever since his departure, and now he has admitted himself that it is an option.
Of course, he is still loved by SAFC supporters, after scoring 37 goals in 93 matches over all competitions across three campaigns (Transfermarkt), including a memorable winner at home to rivals Newcastle United in the Premier League in 2015.
Nonetheless, at 39 years of age, it would be a dream return to football for the Englishman.
