Everton, like Tottenham, are interested in signing Bournemouth striker Josh King, according to Matt Law of The Telegraph.

Having sold Romelu Lukaku to Manchester United, the Blues are in the market for another forward and have been linked to Christian Benteke and Olivier Giroud in the last few days.

However, it looks like King is also on their list of targets, although they will have to fend off interest from Tottenham to get him.

King scored 16 goals in 36 Premier League games last season as Bournemouth once again did enough to stay in the Premier League and it looks like those stats have impressed both Everton and Spurs.

Whether Bournemouth are willing to sell is another matter as they are looking to establish themselves as a regular Premier League side and selling their best player isn’t conducive to them achieving that aim.
