Despite being deployed as a left-wing-back at the back end of last year, Jermain Defoe will most likely return to his Striker role this season. Signing in January of this year from Toronto with Jozy Altidore going the other way (possibly the greatest swap deal in the history of football) Defoe has scored 4 goals, most notably in the Tyne-Wear derby last April. We can hopefully expect more goals this term from the 11th highest Premier League goalscorer of all time.
