Report: West Ham in talks to sign Bournemouth forward Josh King

Premier League outfit West Ham United have opened talks to sign Bournemouth forward Josh King,

David Moyes looks set to win the race for the £10 million-rated player wh♛o has starred 🍨for the Cherries in recent seasons.

The Hammers had🌼 been keen to bolster their ranks before Monday’s deadlinඣe but have now been forced into the Football League market.

West Ham are also keen to s🍸ign a defender but the addition of King looks like a positive one for the Londo🐓ners.

The 28-year-old has scored 17 goals❀ in 48 appearances for the Norway national team and can play in a number of advanced roles.

King is known for his work rate and his ability to bring others ꦡinto play with his strong hold-up 🏅play.

Last season he scored six times and registered four assists as Bournemouth were relegated from the Premie⛦r League.

King has proved a fan favourite at the Vitality 🌄Stadiu꧑m and in 171 appearances for the club he has netted 50 goals and claimed 17 assists.

West Ham have Michail 📖Antonio in the form of his life but the likes of Sebastien Haller and Andriy Yarmolenko haven’t been overly favoured by Moyes.

King’s arrivalꦅ should complement Antonio and Jarrod Bowen just nicely and his hardworking personality won’t be lo🉐st on the Hammers faithful.

Moyes won’t have been happy with the lack of transfer activity. Adding King a🥃nd a central defender should give him hope of picking up plenty of points between now and the window 🧔reopening in January.
