The 25-year-old is linked to Tottenham Hotspur this summer.
Josh King has told The Daily Echo that he was ‘intrigued’ by speculation linking him with a move to Tottenham Hotspur.
The Mirror reported last month that Tottenham were keeping an eye on the 25-year-old after netting 16 Premier League goals for Bournemouth last season.
And King, who joined from Blackburn Rovers in 2015, says he would be a liar if he claimed to be unaware of the reported interest from Spurs, who will compete in the Champions League for a second successive year next season.
“I was focusing on the season and finishing it strongly. But I would be a liar if I said I hadn’t noticed it. It was in most papers in England and you have got people tagging you and sending you links here and there,” he told The Daily Echo.
“I was intrigued even being mentioned in the same sentence as Spurs, a big team who play in the Champions League.”
Sixteen goals in 31 Premier League starts is a very decent return and you can see why Tottenham could potentially want him.
Aside from Harry Kane, Mauricio Pochettino does not have a striker capable of hitting those numbers and mounting serious competition for the England hitman, whose 29 league goals last term won him the Golden Boot.
Vincent Janssen struggled to justify his £17 million fee, scoring six goals – four of which were penalties – in 38 games across all competitions.
