Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe has said no deal has been concluded to sell striker Jermain Defoe, but has hinted that the former Tottenham and Portsmouth man could be on his way to Ibrox soon.

The 36-year-old has played just 22 minutes of Premier League football this season and has been an unused substitute in each of the Cherries’ last nine outings.
