The French youngster has been impressing at Bournemouth recently.

Bournemouth’s excellent season in the Premier League has seen them finish an incredible ninth in the table as Eddie Howe continues to get the best out of his outstanding team.
One player who has been something of a revelation in recent weeks has been young French attacker Lys Mousset, after what was a struggle when he first joined the club.
Signed from Le Havre in the summer for a fee reported by Sky Sports to be in the region of £5.4 million for the French youth international he initially struggled for playing time at the club and nearly left on loan in January.
But recently he has shown off his talent and it is clear now why Tottenham Hotspur were keen on the player.

The 20-year-old admitted back in July – in an interview with the Bournemouth Echo – that he turned down the chance to move to White Hart Lane in the hope of more regular first-team football at Bournemouth.
Tottenham failed to get their man and for a while it did not look like an issue. But recently he has been in fine form, despite not scoring, and Spurs will be keeping tabs on his future development at Dean Court to see if he falls into their crosshairs once again.
