Bournemouth Prepare to Double David Brooks' Wages to Fend Off Man Utd & Spurs Interest

Bournemouth are believed to be preparing to offer their summer signing David Brooks a hefty new contract, in order to ward off apparent interest from the likes of Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur.

The Welsh wonder joined the south coast side from Sheffield United in the summer, and has coped with the step up to the Premier League admirably - scoring five goals and providing two assists so far this season. The 21-year-old has impressed fans and pundits alike with his fearless attacking play, and looks to be a bargain signing for the Cherries at just £11.5m.

According to the Sun, Bournemouth are wary of stronger Premier League sides attempting to prise the talented youngster from them in the summer, and are apparently ready to offer him a new deal just a matter of months into his initial contract.
