Bournemouth striker Jermain Defoe has agreed a permanent deal with Rangers.

The 37-year-old striker, who has been on loan from Bournemouth this season, has signed a pre-contract agreement with the Ibrox club for the 2020-21 campaign.

Speaking on the Rangers website about the move, Defoe said: "I'm just delighted to be honest.

"When I first signed, as I've said many times, it was an easy decision because I have always known about the size of this football club and the history and the great players that have played for this club, so I think for it to get all sorted and for me to secure my future here for another year is really special."

Gers boss Steven Gerrard added: "He is still contributing heavily, he is a major part of this group, this team and this squad and, hopefully, together we can go and share some success as I think he deserves that."
