Jermain Defoe agrees three-year deal with Bournemouth

Jermain Defoe has agreed a three-year deal to join Bournemouth and will be earning a whopping £130,000 a week with the south coast club according to Irish Mirror.

Defoe had a clause in his contract allowing him to leave Sunderland on a free transfer following their relegation from the Premier League.
The England striker had been strongly linked with a return to his former club West Ham but Bournemouth have won the race to clinch his signature.

The 34-year-old held talks with Eddie Howe on Monday and has agreed to pledge his long-term future to the Cherries.
Defoe was top scorer for Sunderland last season with 15 goals and also forced his way back into the England squad.

With no transfer fee involved, Bournemouth were willing to give him a lucrative wage packet and he is set to earn over £6million a year.
