Jermain Defoe is coming to Toronto. Maybe.
According to a report on Mirror.co.uk, TFC has finally landed the English international. There are no other reports that the deal is done, nor is TFC commenting on the matter.

The numbers are massive. Toronto would pay Spurs $10.2-million Canadian for the transfer and Defoe would be paid $8-million a year.
Those numbers would back-up Tim Leiweke's claim last week that the club was about to make the biggest signing in MLS history. It would be from a financial perspective.
Toronto has been aggressively selling Defoe on the merits of coming to TFC so the rumours do have some merit.
Still, TFC fans understand all to well that no transfer is complete until the player is holding up a strip with his name on it at a press conference.
