West Ham United want Bournemouth attacker Joshua King?

West Ham United have reportedly placed emphasis on signing Bournemouth attacker Joshua King.

The Norway international could still leave the Cherries before the EFL transfer window shuts down at the end of next week, and a bunch of clubs have been credited with an interest in the player’s services.

According to The Telegraph, the Hammers are reportedly keen to edge out other suitors in the race to sign the 28-year-old striker, who will be out of contract next June.

The report adds that West Ham boss David Moyes wants to revamp his attack after allowing Felipe Anderson to join FC Porto on loan, and the Bournemouth forward has emerged as a target.

The Cherries are believed to value the Norwegian in the region of £12m.

King has struggled to establish himself in the first-team at Vitality Stadium, having played just 23 minutes as a substitute of Championship football this season.
