According to The Daily Star, West Ham United are likely to make a second bid for Bournemouth striker Joshua King.
Sky Sports have reported that West Ham have had a bid of £13 million for the Norway international striker turned down by Championship club Bournemouth.
The Daily Star has claimed that the Hammers are ‘likely’ to make a new offer in the next few days, with the summer transfer window in England to close on Friday.
Joshua King Stats
According to WhoScored, King scored six goals and provided four assists in 26 Premier League matches for Bournemouth last season.
During the 2018-19 campaign, the 28-year-old Norway international striker scored 12 goals and provided three assists in 35 league games for the Cherries, according to WhoScored.
Would Joshua King make West Ham United better?
Sebastien Haller scored only seven goals in the Premier League for West Ham last season, according to WhoScored, although the striker has found the net once in 29 league minutes this campaign.
Although Michail Antonio has done well for the Hammers while playing upfront, he is a winger by trade.
King would give West Ham manager David Moyes another option in attack, and the former Manchester United prospect could score regularly if he is played as the main striker instead of as a wide forward.
