Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino is ready to make Bournemouth midfielder Lewis Cook his first summer signing.

The 21-year-old made himself a regular for Eddie Howe last term - and even made his England debut.

And with Chelsea now entering the race for long-term target Jack Grealish, Pochettino is ready to test the Cherries resolve, according to the Daily Star.

Cook captained England to Under-20 World Cup glory last summer and was on standby for the full side in Russia.

Liverpool had been linked with a move for the midfielder - but that seems to have cooled after their £250m transfer splurge.

In May Cook's grandfather celebrated a £17,000 jackpot after a bet he placed four years ago finally came in.

The Bournemouth midfielder, 21, came off the bench for the final 20 minutes of the 1-1 draw with Italy at Wembley.

Cook's cameo landed his grandfather a massive windfall after he wagered that his nephew would earn a full cap prior to his 26th birthday.

The bookmakers offered odds of 33/1 in the shop in Tadcaster, North Yorkshire.
