West Ham captain Mark Noble has opened the door for ex-West Ham striker Jermain Defoe to return to the club in January.
Noble heaped the praise on the 36-year-old Bournemouth forward, who played 94 times for the Hammers scoring 29 goals, while addressing speculation regarding the striker's possible movements in January.
“There have been some stories recently about Jermain Defoe wanting to come back to West Ham to end his career here. I don’t know if that is true but the one thing I’ve always felt about him is that he should have played for a title-winning club in his career," said the West Ham captain in his Evening Standard column.
