Bournemouth are ready to pounce for Sunderland striker Jermain Defoe.
The Mirror says Defoe is set to be offered a Premier League lifeline by Bournemouth if the Black Cats are relegated.
Cherries boss Eddie Howe has put former England hit-man Defoe at the top of his summer shopping list after the Cherries secured their top-flight status last weekend.
Howe played alongside Defoe when he scored in a record-breaking ten successive matches as a teenager during a loan spell at Dean Court and remains a big admirer.
