Jermain Defoe has completed a move to Bournemouth on a three-year deal. The 34-year-old striker exercised a relegation release clause in his Sunderland contract and returns to the club where he had a successful loan spell early in his career.
Defoe scored 18 times on loan at Bournemouth from West Ham in 2000-01, finding the net in 10 successive matches. The former Tottenham and Portsmouth player got 15 Premier League goals last season and forced his way back into the England squad.
Bournemouth are set to make a further signing in Nathan Ake, who is on the verge of joining in a club-record £20m transfer from Chelsea.
The south-coast club are not interested in bringing in John Terry, who will be a free agent on Saturday, when the summer transfer window opens. - Press Association/The Guardian
