Spurs plan bid for Bournemouth striker Wilson

Bournemouth are keeping to their valuation for England striker Callum Wilson.

The Daily Mail says Tottenham will turn their attentions to finally signing an understudy to Harry Kane after completing their swoop for keeper Joe Hart on Tuesday.

Wilson is among the names Spurs are considering in their search for a bona-fide back-up striker to Kane - though his £30million valuation could prove a stumbling block with Jose Mourinho working to a stringent budget.

Mourinho wants to bolster his striking options this summer having watched his team's Champions League options flounder without Kane last season, who missed much of the campaign through injury.

West Ham, Everton and Crystal Palace are also keen on the 28-year-old - and the fact those clubs could be willing to offer Wilson more regular first-team football may prove a factor.
