Rangers transfer news: Jermain Defoe completes move to Ibrox on 18-month loan
Rangers have completed the loan signing of striker Jermain Defoe.The former England international – who has 162 Premier League goals to his name – joins on an 18-month loan deal from Bournemouth, subject to international clearance.The signing of the 36-year-old is a huge boost for Steven Gerrard’s men, who for the first time in a number of years are in a legitimate title tussle.Locked level on points with Celtic, Rangers are in with a real chance and Gerrard described Defoe’s signing as “a great addition to our dressing room”.Defoe has scored goals wherever he has played, 273 of them in a club career taking in the likes of West Ham, Tottenham, Sunderland and Portsmouth.“I’m delighted to be able to welcome Jermain to Rangers. He is an exceptionally talented striker and vastly experienced footballer who has scored goals at every club he has played for,” Gerrard said.Defoe reunites with former England team-mate Gerrard, who is now Rangers boss1

“We look forward to integrating him into the squad whilst we work in Tenerife over the next week.”Defoe is the seventh-highest scorer in the history of the Premier League and sixth in the history of Tottenham.Not only has he won admirers for his football – he scored 20 goals for England too – Defoe has also earned praise for his off-the-field behaviour, in particular his friendship with Bradley Lowery, a Sunderland fan who died aged six after a long battle with neuroblastoma. Defoe was awarded an OBE for his charity work in 2018.“It’s really helpful to get work on this front done early in the transfer window because it means we should be able to hit the ground running after the winter break. I believe that is vitally important,” Rangers director of football Mark Allen added.
