West Ham are likely to make a second bid for Bournemouth Josh King imminently according to a report from the Daily Star.

According to a report from the Daily Mail, Hammers boss David Moyes has had a £13 million bid for the 28-year-old striker rejected.
But the Daily Star reckons that has not perturbed West Ham, however, with the east London outfit imminently set to make a second bid for the 50-capped Norway international.
King seems to be ideally suited for West Ham and has everything that David Moyes looks for in a player.
The Norwegian is incredibly hard working, is a real handful physically and he has a decent goalscoring record.
Eddie Howe raved about the striker last year, describing him as a massive player with pace, strength and technical qualities (Bournemouth Echo).
Stats
The 28-year-old racked up six goals and four assists in 26 Premier League games last season (Who Scored).
In those outings, the Norway international averaged one shot, 1.2 key passes and two dribbles per game. He also won an average of 2.3 aerial duals per game (Who Scored).
The Bournemouth ace scored 16 goals in 36 Premier League games in the 2016/17 season. And that kind of return would take the Hammers to another level this term.
Let’s just hope that we manage to get a deal over the line for King. At the same time, however, he has just nine months remaining on his current deal, so we shouldn’t feel pressured into overpaying for his services.
