Sunderland striker Jermain Defoe coy over Bournemouth move

Sunderland striker Jermain Defoe is tightlipped over his next move.

It is understood Bournemouth - a club he has hailed as “fantastic" - are set to land his signature on a three-year deal.

But for now the Sunderland striker insists any decisions on his future will wait until after the next round of international games.

“There has been a lot of speculation about me going to this club and that club, a lot of stuff about Bournemouth," said Defoe.

“I have just kept my head down and I am focused on England and the two games coming up, whether I play or not, just to be around the team and to try and enjoy it. There is no better feeling than to put that England shirt on.

“I want to get my head down, get England out of the way and then sit down with my family and decide what I really want to do. We'll see what happens."
