Not quite good enough for the teams going for Champions League but yeah could still make a living in the Premier League. He's a goalscorer and I'm sure he will be a success at Toronto and get 15 goals a season.
I heard him moving to Toronto and with the WC coming up thought he must not give a shit about playing in it and just wants the money because he'd probably make the squad if he was playing regularly in the Prem.
If I remember correctly Spurs fans didn't want him to go, and they have now spent 25m on Soldudo.
Basically if you want to know if you should be getting excited about it I would say yes. Would take him at Villa.

HIGHLIGHTS: Seattle Sounders vs. Toronto FC | MLSsoccer.com
Two goals on his debut. Classic Defoe for the first. Second goal is a beauty. (Just watched it again, a gift from the defenders, he's gonna score a s
hitload in this league)
That pitch looks shocking though wtf.
