Defoe, Vanney unsure of what Toronto FC future holds for ex-Tottenham ace

Jermain Defoe admits he doesn't know if he will be a Toronto FC player next season.

The former Tottenham striker had a frustrating debut campaign in MLS with a groin injury restricting him to just 19 appearances.

There has been plenty of hearsay and conjecture regarding whether or not Defoe will remain at the BMO Field for the 2015 season and his words this week indicated that he does not know what is next either.

"At the end of the day, I don't know what the future holds," he said.

"But what I would say is that I was desperate to get into the playoffs. It's something I would love to experience."

Additionally, TFC head coach Greg Vanney was also uncertain if the veteran Englishman would be pulling on the Reds shirt in 2015.

"Candidly I'm not really sure what to expect," he said.

"I know he plays the game, he wants to be successful, I know he wants to score goals.

"What I'm not sure is now that he's spent a year in the league, what are his true feeling about this league and the decision that he's made and does want to really see this out? And is this really where he wants to really push his career.

"These are all conversations that we're going to have once this season closes. I have not had those conversations with him."
