Bournemouth forward Joshua King would be perfect for Tottenham Hotspur, says Jermaine Jenas.
Jermaine Jenas has told BBC Sport that Bournemouth forward Joshua King would be a good signing for Tottenham Hotspur in the summer transfer window.
The former Tottenham midfielder has also explained why the 25-year-old Norway international would be perfect for the North London outfit.
“There has been talk of them being in for Joshua King, who has had a brilliant season for Bournemouth, and I think he would be perfect,” Jenas told BBC Sport.
“He would definitely add a lot more than Janssen, who has sometimes not even played when Kane is injured.
“King has got a lot of developing to do but that would not be a problem because I think Mauricio Pochettino likes players that he can work on.”
Good record
King has been in good form for Bournemouth this season and has established himself as an important player for the Cherries.
The former Blackburn Rovers forward has scored 16 goals and provided two assists in 36 Premier League appearances for Eddie Howe’s side this season.
During the 2015-16 season, King scored six goals and created 25 chances in 31 league matches for Bournemouth.
Interest
According to a report in The Mirror earlier this month, Tottenham are interested in signing King from Bournemouth in the summer transfer window.
Spurs, though, are not the only club who are (reportedly) looking to sign King. According to The Northern Echo, Newcastle United want the former Manchester United prospect in the summer.
