During his latest transfer round-up for the Chronicle, Mark Douglas has confirmed that Bournemouth’s Josh King is ‘another target’ of Rafa Benitez’s this summer – suggesting the striker could be an alternative to the recently linked Salomon Rondon.
Neither of the two are proven Premier League strikers, with both tending to struggle to hit double figures in the top flight, however King is perhaps the more exciting option out of the two?
He bagged 16 league goals in 2016/17 – more than Rondon has managed in his last two seasons (15) – and is also two and a half years younger.
Rafa was linked with a move for King last summer but, as always seems to the case with NUFC, I imagine an asking price north of our current transfer record brought our interest to an end.
Josh king resurfaces again , somebody desperate that we sign him , he’s ****
