Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly interested in a £30m move for AFC Bournemouth defender Nathan Ake.
That’s according to the Daily Star, who write that his former club Chelsea, Manchester United and Napoli are the other clubs tracking his progress.
Ake joined Bournemouth from Chelsea at the start of last season, reportedly costing the South Coast club £20m.
Since then he has increased his profile with consistent performances for Eddie Howe’s men, who currently sit 12th in the Premier League table.
The Italian club are believed to have made contact with the 24-year-old’s agent over a possible summer move, having courted him since last year as a replacement for Raul Albiol.
Spurs look set to lose centre-back Toby Alderweireld come the end of the season as he enters the final year of his contract with the North London club.
They will, therefore, be looking for reinforcements to provide competition for Jan Vertonghen. Davinson Sanchez and Juan Foyth.
Ake is believed to not be keen on a return to Chelsea given the way he was treated during his time there, but the West London outfit have a £40m buy-back clause on the player.
