Sunderland striker Jermain Defoe has re-signed for former club Bournemouth on a free transfer.
The England international, 34, who has signed a three-year deal, said: "It's great to be back. The one thing I can guarantee is goals."
"It was an easy decision, joining a top team with a top manager," added Defoe who scored 15 league goals last season.
A teenage Defoe spent the 2000-01 season on loan at Bournemouth from West Ham, scoring in 10 successive matches.
The former Tottenham, Portsmouth, West Ham and Charlton player is seventh on the Premier League all-time goals list with 158 in 468 appearances.

I expect that's what made him choose them over a return to West Ham.
