Reports in The Sun on Friday, via HITC, claim that West Ham United boss Slaven Bilic is interested in signing Bournemouth forward Josh King in the summer.

The 25-year-old has been in impressive goalscoring form for the Cherries this season – netting 11 times in the Premier League, including a hat-trick against the Irons at the Vitality Stadium earlier this month.

With Simone Zaza struggling to fire early on in the campaign and Andy Carroll and Diafra Sakho once again spending the majority of the season on the sidelines because of injury, the east London outfit are in desperate need of reinforcements up front.
