Jermain Defoe
After being handed a start in Sherwood’s first match as caretaker boss against West Ham, the England striker was surely looking forward to an extended run in the first team. But the 29-year-old was immediately relegated to the bench for the league clash at Southampton and was left out of the squad, presumably injured, against West Brom, with Roberto Soldado and Emmanuel Adebayor paired in a front two. Defoe is reportedly set to move to FC Toronto in MLS in January and if rumours of Sherwood’s interest in Bafetimbi Gomis are true, Defoe may have played his last game for the North London club.
