Mark Noble hint for Defoe signing

Speculation is gathering pace that West Ham will attempt to sign Jermain Defoe when the transfer window opens on Monday after West Ham’s captain Mark Noble started following following the former Hammer on social media.

Noble with over 82,000 followers on twitter made Defoe his 310th person he follows.

Last week ClaretandHugh confirmed that “conversations” over the availability of Jermain Defoe have been held but that Sunderland aren’t keen to let their star striker leave the Stadium of Light.

The former Hammer has found the net seven times for the third off bottom Black Cats who themselves have only managed 15 all season! And although at 34 years of age with no possible return on the £6 million outlay quoted in reports,  there is interest from the Irons.

Our poll of 1,555 Hammers fans shows that nearly 71% would welcome Defoe back with open arms in the January transfer window.
