Jermain Defoe insists he hasn't made a decision about his future with Sunderland.

A host of Premier League clubs are interested in the 34-year-old, who will be available on a free following the Black Cats' relegation.

He said: “We don't know exactly what is going in but I think it's well documented, I'm a free agent. It is a difficult situation, it is going to be emotional. You never know in football, I remember when I left Tottenham, it was hard because of the relationship I had with the fans, it was a decision I had to make for football reasons.

“I went and I came back. For the next three games I'm going to give everything I can and if turns out to be my last home game, I want to show the fans that I appreciate them, every song they've sung, every minute they've supported the team, all the lads.

“Even when I've stopped playing I'd always like to come back and watch the games, help the club in any way I can really, to give something back the younger lads coming through. It is a special place, the fans are unbelievable. Every player who plays for this club says the same, it will be hard to go somewhere else and find fans like this."
