Bournemouth eye Jermain Defoe move

Bournemouth will reportedly reignite their interest in Sunderland striker Jermain Defoe in the winter transfer window.

The 33-year-old was linked with a possible return to Dean Court over the summer, but he opted to remain with the Black Cats.

Defoe has since then lost his starting spot at Wearside, and has had to satisfy himself with a role from the substitutes' bench.

According to The Express, Defoe has revealed his displeasure over his current status at Wearside, and this is likely to attracted interest from the Cherries in the New Year.

The former England international had a successful loan spell at Bournemouth during 2000-2001 season, where he scored 19 goals in all competitions.
