Via TheIndependant:
A phone call from Canadian rapper Drake persuaded Jermain Defoe to join Toronto FC according to reports.
Drake, who has an ambassadorial role at the MLS club, rang the Tottenham striker to convince him to join the club according to The Daily Mirror.
Defoe is reportedly a big fan of Drake and was amazed to have been given the phone call apparently.
The England striker is said to have agreed a four year deal with the Canadian club, as he looks to secure a lucrative finish to his career.
