Rapper Drake has reportedly recruited Tottenham striker Jermaine Defoe for Toronto F.C. after putting in a personal call to the player.
It has been reported that Canadian rapper Drake is a huge "soccer" fan (or should that be football) and is an extremely proud and avid supporter of his local team Toronto F.C. As a result he holds a global ambassador position at the club and has taken it unto himself to begin recruiting players - beginning with Defoe.
According to the Mirror, the hip-hop megastar put in a personal phone call to Defoe. The striker was apparently blown away by the appeal and as a result has agreed to take a £90,000 per-week four-year deal.

Defoe will reportedly transfer to the club and will return on loan to Tottenham Hotspur when the MLS season begins again in March. According to the Metro he was afraid the move could affect his chances of been chosen for England's world cup squad, but the offer was simply too good to turn down.
