‘I enjoyed it’: Jermain Defoe praises MLS, wouldn’t rule out return

Former Toronto FC designated player Jermain Defoe was asked about his time in MLS recently, and it seems he has a much more positive outlook than perhaps we thought. The Bournemouth striker played just one season with the Reds, 2014, before skipping town (he was sent to Sunderland in exchange for Jozy Altidore).

In an interview with ESPN FC, he spoke highly of North America’s top flight, as well as the city of Toronto, refusing to rule out an eventual return to Major League Soccer.

“When I was there, I enjoyed it,” he said.
