Tottenham Hotspur are reported to still be keen on a move for Bournemouth’s Lewis Cook, Sky Sports News report.

Cook was subject of interest from Tottenham in the summer, but no bid was made.

If Tottenham do make a move, then Bournemouth’s willingness to deal at the right price may have been influenced by their own summer business.

The Cherries splashed out to sign Colombia midfielder Jefferson Lerma, spending £25 million to sign him from Spanish side Levante.

South American players can sometimes have trouble settling in the Premier League.

Lerma appears to being having no such trouble.
