Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with Bournemouth forward Joshua King in the summer transfer window.
It has been reported that Tottenham will offer Bournemouth the chance to recoup some of the cash they have spent to sign Nathan Ake and Jermain Defoe in the summer transfer window.
According to The Telegraph, the Cherries paid Chelsea £20 million as transfer fee in order to secure the services of the 22-year-old central defender.
The Telegraph has also claimed that the signings of Age and Defoe will cost Bournemouth over £50m including wages despite the latter joining the club on a free transfer following his departure from Sunderland.
The report has also stated that Bournemouth had to pay Chelsea £10m as transfer fee in order to sign goalkeeper Asmir Begovic this summer.
“Bournemouth are likely to demand £30m for King and it remains to be seen whether or not Spurs would be willing to make the Norway international their joint record signing with Lamela and Moussa Sissoko,” adds the report in The Telegraph.
King enjoyed a successful 2016-17 campaign on a personal level for Bournemouth, scoring 16 goals and providing two assists in 31 Premier League starts.
The 25-year-old forward would be a decent signing for Tottenham, but he would be a back-up to Harry Kane, who will remain the first-choice striker at Spurs.
