Blackburn Rovers, Bournemouth agree Joshua King compensation fee

Blackburn Rovers and Bournemouth have reached an agreement on a compensation fee for the transfer of Joshua King.

King's contract with Blackburn expired this summer and Bournemouth, after their first ever promotion to the Premier League, pounced to secure him on a three-year pre-contract.

Due to the Norwegian being under 24, Bournemouth were required to pay a compensation fee to Blackburn and the two clubs have now come to an agreement.

Former Manchester United man King scored eight goals in 74 appearances for Blackburn.
