Jermain Defoe offered to Liverpool in January transfer window - Matt Law, Telegraph

Toronto FC and former England striker is interested in a move to Anfield on loan until the end of the season, but his club are still insisting on a permanent deal

Liverpool have been offered the chance to sign Jermain Defoe as a stop-gap solution to their striker problems Defoe is desperate to return to the Premier League in this month’s transfer window, with Queens Park Rangers and Hull City interested in signing him.

The Telegraph can reveal, however, that Liverpool have also been sounded out over the possibility of bringing 32-year-old Defoe back to England from MLS club Toronto FC.

The main stumbling block over any potential move for Defoe is that Toronto are insisting they do not want to loan him and instead want a £6 million sale.

Defoe, though, hopes Toronto are forced to relent on their refusal to let him join a Premier League club on loan until the end of the season and is aware that his name has been put to Liverpool.

Liverpool are unlikely to be interested in any long-term transfer, but a temporary deal may be tempting for manager Brendan Rodgers.



Wouldn't be against this if it's a loan til the end of the season, a nice option to have until Origi returns to take his spot

[Locke.]

Chelsea very likely to be signing Kramaric Wanted us to get him. They'll just be loaning him right back out like they do with all the other good talents they get as well, annoying as ****

[MTVN]

**** knows who he is but let's see how the lad does

[Drew.]

There is Reids replacement

[Shaun]

Permanent or loan? will forever piss me off how little we used him.

[Black Dagger]

Just a loan but i think its safe to say he won't be coming back after that.. huge loss to the dressing room.

[Locke.]

Hope he can start scoring again now that he has gone back home, and I expect that will be the case now that he has gone back to his blonde hair

[Locke.]

Origi is being recalled for £3m, excellent. Had a good start in France but Lille are bloody terrible and don't create any chances, he should link up well with our front line and be a great back up for Sturridge in the second half of the season.

I'd imagine this definitely spells the end for Mario and Borini as well.

French defender Loic Perrin has claimed that Arsenal have made contact with him over a possible switch to the Emirates.

The Gunners had already been linked with the 29-year-old, who is valued at about £6m, however this is the first time that the St Etienne player has confirmed the talk. According to Perrin, Arsenal are yet to make any contact with the club.

"I was contacted personally. Arsenal are interested,” he told Le Progres. But for now, there is still no contact with Saint-Etienne.

Perrin tends to play at centre-back but can also play at right-back and in midfield if required - a versatility that appeals to Arsene Wenger.

Surely they are going to get done for tapping up?

[Drew.]

What good is a 29 year old going to do long term, all 3 of our centre backs will be 29 +

**** sakes, Messi to Chelsea is trending on twitter because of this



This happens quite a lot on social media where players follow different players from other clubs.. but following an official club account too is quite a strange one, especially Messi, he doesnt tend to follow many people outside of Barca.

[Locke.]

He knows that Suarez is the main man there now, Messi is surplus to requirements

[Brother Leon]

Messi doing what he has to do to make Barca **** it and give him his annual pay rise.

[Locke.]

Cech to Roma apparantely, will be a brilliant signing for them

[Black Dagger]

Bony looking like a cert for us.

[Drew.]

Good signing, absolute beast & hes great on the ball.. Can play in the CL too.

[Brother Leon]

30m for Bony. The Market is nuts.

[Black Dagger]

It's including his wages and bonuses...

[Locke.]

His goalscoring record is worth way more than £30m.. 71 goals in his last 106 games. Don't think Dzeko will be too pleased though
