Transfer stand off|Callum Wilson vs Josh King

Jackson Cole for talkSPORT believes that Tottenham are in talks with Bournemouth – for striker Josh King – which might indicate that negotiations for Callum Wilson drew a blank.

Alternatively, this could be a less than honest piece, designed to fill the void until Spurs have sold players in order to stump up the cash required to afford a player to compliment Harry Kane. Whilst my understanding is that terms were agreed between Wilson and Spurs, that’s a million miles away from a done deal, if the funds aren’t in place to get the transfer done.

Using the WhoScored? player comparison function, there’s really very little between Callum and Josh, in fact, it inly serves to highlight the mediocrity of these two relegated front-men. One would hope that any striker would benefit from having superior players supplying them with better quality balls. That said, it didn’t seem to make a jot of difference for Roberto Soldado or Vincent Janssen!
