The Daily Mail reported yesterday that Jermain Defoe has agreed a January move to MLS side Toronto. It's reported that the transfer fee is in the region of £6 million with a salary around £90,000 per week. Therefore, I thought it was a good idea to put together a slideshow on why it's a good move for him and what it means for the MLS. Overall, the key thing is for Defoe to be playing more regular football in the first team, something that Andre Villas-Boas doesn't seem keen to do, especially in the league. We all know about his quality, so this move should be good for him, especially if he can become a focal point of their attack, rather than the fringe player he is at the moment with Spurs. So, let's get started by looking at why this is a key move for him...
