If Rafael Benitez could sign Josh King and bring him to Newcastle United he’d be a great addition.
Newcastle United are lining up a move for Bournemouth striker Josh King, according to The Sun.
Newcastle are said to be willing to make a move for the forward in the summer, and he would be a significant upgrade on their current options.
The Magpies are sure to have a striker on their shopping list in the summer, as they have failed to find a prolific scorer this term.
And King would be a wonderful addition for Rafael Benitez’ side to make.
Dwight Gayle and Ayoze Perez have both been in impressive form at Newcastle in recent times, but King would be a huge improvement.
King may have only netted six Premier League goals this season, but he has proven before just how dangerous he can be at the top level.
Last term, King found the back of the net 16 occasions – which is more than Perez or Gayle have ever managed in the top flight.
And if Benitez could get King back to his best, then he would be a wonderful addition to Newcastle’s team.
