Bournemouth are weighing up a £4million move for Tottenham Hotspurs midfielder Ryan Mason according to reports by The Mirror.

According to The Mirror “Mason’s name is understood to have cropped up in talks between Spurs and Bournemouth over striker Callum Wilson.

“Spurs are keen on Wilson, but he is believed to be one of a number of frontmen behind Marseille’s Belgium international Michy Batshuayi on their list of striker targets.”

The midfielder started just eight league games during Spurs’ title bid, before they eventually finished in third place. Mason could be allowed to move on after falling down the pecking order at the club. With the recent expected changes anticipated at the club, Mason might see less opportunities, hence the move by the English Premier League side to acquire him ahead of next season.

Cherries boss Eddie Howe is ready to offer Mason a fresh start as they look to build on their first Premier League campaign that saw them clinch survival. Having taken a few weeks off to watch the climax of the Rugby Union season - where there was a shock Heineken Cup winner that even the likes of betting odds specialist StanJames didn't see oming, Howe is back to concentrating on football.

Mason’s name is understood to have cropped up in talks between Spurs and Bournemouth over striker Callum Wilson. Spurs are keen on Wilson who is 24 years of age, but he is believed to be one of a number of frontmen behind Marseille’s Belgium international Michy Batshuayi on their list of striker targets.

Also, instead of joining Bournemouth on a permanent deal, the player might be offered on loan. Bournemouth finished two spots from the relegation zone this season that just ended and hope to stock up ahead of the coming season.

Mason has had a not so good season as against the decent spell he enjoyed in the 2014/2015 season. Injuries and competition for a spot on the starting squad restricted the player to just eight games this season. He has scored just one goal and created 10 chances in 22 Premier League appearances this campaign.
