West Ham United 'weighing up £12m move for Joshua King'

West Ham 'weighing up £12m move for Joshua King'

West Ham United are reportedly weighing up a move for Bournemouth attacker Joshua King.

The 28-year-old could still leave the Vitality Stadium before the EFL transfer window closes at the end of next week, and a number of clubs have been credited with an interest in his services.

Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur have previously been mentioned as potential suitors, but according to the Daily Mail, West Ham are also firmly in the hunt for the Norway international.

The report claims that Hammers boss David Moyes wants to boost his attack after allowing Felipe Anderson to join Porto on loan, and King has emerged as a target.

Bournemouth are believed to value the former Man United youngster, who will be out of contract next June, in the region of £12m.

King has only played 23 minutes of Championship football this season and has not even made the squad for three of his side's four league matches at the start of 2020-21.
