Jermain Defoe – FC Toronto to Sunderland – Swap/undisclosed
Hit
To be honest, the Black Cats couldn’t have done any worse than Jozy Altidore, and though Defoe hasn’t exactly been prolific himself with three goals in 11 appearances so far, he’s at least given the club some hope that he’ll be able to fire them to safety. However, considering he’s earning a reported £80,000-per-week, he’ll want to start firing in the goals on a more regular basis pretty quickly.
Andrej Kramaric – HNK Reijka to Leicester City – £9.7m
Flop
The Croatian goal machine had previously hit 26 goals in 18 games prior to his switch to Leicester in the new year. It looked as though Chelsea had missed a real gem, but so far he’s managed to two goals – both of which came in defeats. His all-round play hasn’t been terrible, but he’s still behind such powerhouses like David Nugent and Jamie Vardy when it comes to goals.
