Bournemouth Defender Clarifies 'Internet Rumours' of January Move to Tottenham

Bournemouth defender Nathan Ake has played down speculation that he has agreed a deal to join Tottenham Hotspur in January.

The 23-year-old is currently on international duty with Holland as Ronald Koeman's side punished Germany 3-0 on Sunday evening during their UEFA Nations League encounter.

Recent reports in the media suggested that Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho and Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino are set to battle it out for the former Chelsea man.

However, following his brief substitute appearance against the Germans over the weekend, the highly-rated centre-back played down any transfer away from the Vitality Stadium.
