Jermain Defoe paid an emotional tribute to "best friend" Bradley Lowery after his death from a rare form of cancer. The England striker struck up a close friendship with Bradley during his time at Sunderland. He died on Friday, aged six.


"I will always carry you in my heart. Goodbye my friend, gonna miss you lots. I feel so blessed God brought you into my life and has some amazing moments with you and for that I'm so grateful," Defoe wrote on his social media accounts.


"I'll never forget the way you looked at me when I met you for the first time. Really finding it hard to find words to express what you mean to me. Your courage and bravery will continue to inspire me for the rest of my life. Sleep tight little one. My best friend."
