Bournemouth striker Jermain Defoe open to MLS return

Bournemouth striker Jermain Defoe would be open to a MLS return.

Defoe says he would not rule out a return to the MLS.

"I definitely wouldn't rule it out because when I was there, I enjoyed it," he told ESPN FC. "I enjoyed going to different places, places I'd never been before.

"I think maybe [I went to the MLS too soon]. It just made sense at the time because it was a good deal for both parties.

"For me going to another league, a new challenge, a club that had massive changes ... I knew the manager, Toronto is an amazing city and I looked at it and thought, David Beckham went there, Robbie Keane went there, other players.

"I thought this could be good, a new chapter in my life. And to be honest, I enjoyed it."
