£15m Josh King bid? Alves, Aurier, Walker


TRANSFER TALK


There is a suggestion that we have tabled a £15 million (€16.8m - AUS$25.24m - US$19.28m) bid for 25-year-old (26 next January) Bournemouth striker Joshua King.

The right-footed Norwegian international (he has 28 full international caps, scoring 7 goals) is under contract at the South Coast club until 2020 and has a transfermarkt.com valuation of £6.8 million (€7.62m - AUS$11.44m - US$8.74m).

With Dani Alves snubbing Manchester City and guaranteeing himself trophies by signing for PSG, Tottenham have been handed all the aces in the Kyle Walker to Manchester City transfer negotiations. If they want him they'll have to stump up the cash, unless Mauricio Pochettino insists he is sold.

With Alves joining, it does mean 24-year-old (25 in September) Ivory Coast international Serge Aurier may well be free to leave. The right-back has 39 full international caps, scoring 1 goal and won the Africa Cup of Nations with his country in 2015. He also has 12 trophies with PSG so could he interest Pochettino?

There are reports we want Kelechi Iheanacho as part of any Walker deal, but he looks set for Leicester City so he can get the guaranteed football he is said to want.
