Tottenham Hotspur 'in talks over deal for Joshua King'

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly in talks a potential deal for Bournemouth forward Joshua King.

The 28-year-old's contract at the Vitality Stadium is due to expire next June, and he is widely expected to leave the Cherries in the current transfer window following their relegation to the Championship.

Manchester United were linked with the Norway international in January as they looked to boost their attack, but the Red Devils ultimately brought Odion Ighalo to Old Trafford on loan.

According to talkSPORT, Tottenham are currently in talks over a possible deal for the versatile attacker, who scored six times and registered four assists in 27 appearances for Bournemouth last term.

The report claims that King's agent has held discussions with Spurs as Jose Mourinho's side look to bring in a back-up option for Harry Kane ahead of the 2020-21 campaign.

The Norwegian has struck 50 times in 170 appearances for the Cherries in all competitions.
