TBH this would make a lot of sense - young, Bournmouth play quick, passing football and he wouldn't cost a fortune.

Was inevitable we'd be linked. Definitely someone we should be looking at

Nah mate, after his last spell it was time to say goodbye.

As a Norwegian I would love to see successful Norwegians playing for Spurs! But nowadays i really don´t see anyone even remotely close to being good enough. Spurs have become a better team under Poch, and the level of the best Norwegian footballers have dropped dramatically compared to the rest of Europe (and the world) over the last couple of decades. If Levy were to start a cross country skiing team, it should be littered with Norwegians. As long as our sport is still football, we´re probably better off without any for the time being.

Joshua King is a decent player; he´s physical, got some speed, and can play different attacking/forward positions. His basic ball handling and tehcnique is decent - but nothing more. The same goes for his passing. Technically he´s at least(!) one step down from someone like Son for example. But I really question his engine: he´s always had a problem finishing 90 minutes - he used to have a bad habit of running empty around the 60 minute mark. Especially for the national side. He´s only stayed on the pitch for the full 90 minutes in the league 17 times this season. My guess is that it was even less last season. It seems though, that he´s improving in this aspect (he endures maybe 70-75 minutes now?). And as long as he´s playing up front for Bournemouth, he´s more capable of handling 2 x 45. But I fear he would fall through under the gruelling Poch-regime.
