According to The Sun, Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe is keen on lining up a replacement for Nathan Ake, amid speculation that Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United and Manchester City are interested in the former Chelsea defender.

The British tabloid has claimed that Bournemouth manager Howe fears that Ake will be sold in the January transfer window or next summer, with Brentford star Chris Mepham reportedly on the Cherries’ radar.

Boost for Tottenham Hotspur

This report in The Sun is a boost to Tottenham’s chances of landing the 23-year-old in January, as it seems that the Cherries are preparing for his departure.

According to The Telegraph, Tottenham and United are interested in signing Ake from Bournemouth.

The Daily Mail has credited defending Premier League champions City with interest in the 23-year-old Netherlands international defender – who earns £40,000 per week as salary, according to Spotrac.com.

Ake is a very good defender who has progressed well at Bournemouth, and the Dutchman would be a good long-term signing for Tottenham and enhance the depth of their backline.
