Tottenham Hotspur are interested in bringing Bournemouth striker Joshua King to the club this summer.

A report in the Daily Mirror has suggested that Tottenham are keeping a close eye on Bournemouth striker Joshua King, and may make a bid for the in-form goalscorer this summer.
King has enjoyed a brilliant season at the Vitality Stadium, stepping in to the talisman role seamlessly following the devastating injury suffered by Callum Wilson.
The 25-year-old has scored 15 goals for the Cherries in the Premier League this season, including 12 goals in his last 14 appearances for Eddie Howe’s men.
Unsurprisingly therefore, Spurs have earmarked the former Manchester United trainee as a potential target for the end of the season as Mauricio Pochettino looks to bolster his goalscoring options following another promising season.

The Mirror reports that King – who is under contract with Bournemouth until 2020 – is likely to command a fee of around £15 million, but that may well prove to be a bargain, even though he would surely sit below Harry Kane in the pecking order for Tottenham.
Spurs will be looking to battle on several fronts once again next year, but will be desperately hoping that they can pick up some silverware to prove just how special this current era is for the club, and having further options across the pitch, including King working with Kane and Vincent Janssen up front, will surely boost their chances of doing just that.
