Jamie Redknapp has told the Daily Mail that he thinks Tottenham Hotspur target Callum Wilson is guaranteed to be sold by Bournemouth this summer. 

The Sun have reported how Tottenham want to sign Wilson from Bournemouth, with Jose Mourinho’s men looking to land him for £20 million.

The Cherries relegation to the Championship was confirmed yesterday.

And Redknapp thinks that Wilson could be one of a number of players who leave Dean Court, with Tottenham said to be interested. 

“Now they’re out of the Premier League and I fear for my former club,” he said.

“Callum Wilson is bound to be sold this summer. Nathan Ake may leave, too, while I’m sure someone will be looking to snap up David Brooks. Can they make a comeback from the Championship?”

If Wilson does join Tottenham he could increase the options available to Mourinho up-front.

The England international would be unlikely to be a permanent starter, but his pace off the bench could prove valuable.

Tottenham struggle to rest Harry Kane at the moment, as they have limited options behind him who are natural strikers.

But Wilson has proven his ability to cause problems at the top level, and could be available for a bargain price this summer, following Bournemouth’s relegation.
