Toronto FC striker Jermain Defoe is determined to earn a move back to the Premier League this month.

The Mirror says Defoe has flown to France for a fitness boot camp in a bid to keep his dream of a Premier League return alive.

The Toronto striker, 32, is working with Tiberius Darau, the fitness trainer he credits with helping him into England's Euro 2012 squad even though he was not a first choice for Spurs at the time.

Leicester lead the chase for the ex-England marksman while Sunderland, Hull and QPR are also interested.
