Jermain Defoe agrees three-year deal with Bournemouth

Jermain Defoe agrees three-year deal with Bournemouth worth a staggering £130,000 a week

Defoe is set to earn over £6million a year with the south coast club after pledging his long-term future to Eddie Howe's side.

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.

Defoe is no stranger to playing on the south coast after he had a memorable loan spell back in 2000 when he scored 12 in 10 consecutive games and finished the season with 20 goals.

Bournemouth are set for a busy summer in the transfer market as they also look to finalise a deal to sign former Chelsea skipper John Terry.
