Tottenham weigh up move for Bournemouth top scorer Joshua King as Mauricio Pochettino considers back-up options for Harry Kane

Tottenham are considering Bournemouth striker Joshua King among their targets for a new centre forward this summer.

King, 25, has hit a remarkable goalscoring streak in 2017 — netting 12 times since January.

And the fact that the Norway international is considered ‘homegrown’ under Premier League and Champions League squad rules is another boost to Spurs’ interest.

King started his career by coming through the ranks at Manchester United, thereby fulfilling the criteria for a homegrown player which require three years spent in England between the ages of 15 and 21.
