Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United are interested in signing Joshua King from Bournemouth in the summer transfer window, according to The Sun.

It has been reported that United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is a massive fan of his Norwegian compatriot.

Spurs are claimed to be keen on the 26-year-old forward, who is reportedly rated at £25 million.

Advantage Manchester United?

King is playing well for Bournemouth at the moment and is one of the better forwards in the Premier League.

The Norway international forward has scored seven goals and provided two assists in 15 Premier League appearances for the Cherries so far this season, according to WhoScored.

Given that Solskjaer is a compatriot of King and the forward came through the United youth academy, the Red Devils could have an advantage over Spurs.

The 26-year-old could well opt to move to United, as he has unfinished business at Old Trafford.

It is hard to see King play regularly for Tottenham as long as Harry Kane is at the North London outfit.
