Despite the lure of the Cheese Room and the smell of the Tunnel Club, Cherries star Josh King is staying put this summer, despite Tottenham’s advances.
“I would be a liar if I said I hadn’t noticed it,” King told the Bournemouth Echo.
“It was in most papers in England and you have got people tagging you and sending you links here and there.
“I was intrigued even being mentioned in the same sentence as Spurs, a big team who play in the Champions League.”
“You never know in football but, hopefully, I will be here next year and I’m looking forward to working with the gaffer because he’s been brilliant with me since the day I set foot on the training ground.”
This means Spurs are still left staring at Vincent Janssen, who unlike Josh King didn’t score 16 goals in his last 19 games.
That said, Tottenham didn’t half generate a lot of goals from our most of our attack minded players last season, even when Kane was out injured.
It must be stressed at this point another positive with Kane, he was absolutely desperate to get back into the team and get scoring again. An occasional rarity in the modern game.
