Thursday morning's Championship transfer talk news roundup:

Manchester United target David Brooks 'set to stay at Bournemouth'

David Brooks will reportedly remain with Bournemouth beyond the end of this summer's transfer window.

The Wales international has been strongly linked with a move away from the Cherries following the club's relegation to the second tier of English football.

The 23-year-old excelled during his first season in the Premier League, scoring seven times and providing five assists in 30 appearances, but he missed the majority of last term due to an ankle injury.

Manchester United have been linked with the attacker as a potential alternative to Borussia Dortmund's Jadon Sancho, who is valued by his German club in excess of £100m.

However, according to The Sun, Bournemouth will only listen to offers in excess of £50m for Brooks, meaning that the Welshman is set to stay at the Vitality Stadium beyond the transfer deadline.

Leicester City are also believed to be admirers of the former Sheffield United youngster.

Tottenham Hotspur 'confident of signing new striker in addition to Gareth Bale, Sergio Reguilon'

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly expecting to sign a new centre-forward before this summer's transfer window closes at the start of October.

Spurs are allegedly on the verge of agreeing a loan deal for Gareth Bale, while Sergio Reguilon is said to be at the club's training ground undergoing a medical, with both players set to arrive from Real Madrid.

However, according to Football Insider, Jose Mourinho's side are also confident of bringing a new striker to the club to provide competition for Harry Kane in the final third.

The report claims that chairman Daniel Levy is of the opinion that a new forward is required due to the squad's lack of options in that area of the field.

Spurs have seemingly missed out on a deal for Crystal Palace's Alexander Sorloth, while Arkadiusz Milik is thought to be on the verge of joining Roma from Napoli.

Bournemouth's Joshua King has also been linked with a move to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, while Torino's Andrea Belotti is believed to be a potential option.
