According to Sky Sports (20:54), Everton and Fulham have both agreed deals with Bournemouth for the signing of Josh King.
It’s claimed that Bournemouth have verbally agreed deals with both clubs, and it’s now up to King to pick where he wants to go.
The report doesn’t mention how much King will cost, but with his contract up at the end of the season, a fee surely won’t be huge.
King, 29, can leave for free in a matter of months, and Bournemouth appear to be open to let him go tonight before he can walk away.
The Norwegian hit 48 Premier League goals in five seasons with Bournnemouth, but has remarkably yet to score in the Championship this season.
King, formerly of Manchester United, Preston North End and Blackburn Rovers, may fancy a return to the North West, and Everton can provide that.
He would play more first-team football at Fulham though, given that Richarlison and Dominic Calvert-Lewin are key for Everton.
With time ticking down, King doesn’t have long to make his decision – and this one could go down to the wire.
