Joshua King links to West Ham
The Irons have been sporadically linked with a move to sign King, with this same outlet once saying GSB were working on a deal ‘behind the scenes’ just before the window opened.
TalkSPORT journalist Alex Crook also recently claimed that the 51-cap Norwegian was ‘desperate’ for a move to the London Stadium.
It is also now believed that reports over his huge wage demands are ‘misguided’, potentially a boost for the Hammers as they eye more options.
Transfer Tavern take
King could still be a good late option for West Ham as the window draws to a close.
Noel Whelan, speaking in an interview with Football Insider, described the 29-year-old as an ‘exciting player’ – regardless of his lack of game time in the Championship this season (WhoScored).
Time will tell whether West Ham manage a late coup for him, but it could be worthwhile given their lack of depth behind Michail Antonio.
