According to a report from the Daily Mirror, Liverpool are one of six Premier League sides keeping tabs on Bournemouth striker Joshua King – with Reds supporters since going on to blast the update in response.
King, who has started 17 Premier League games for the Cherries this season, scoring just four goals and assisting two others, is now reportedly enticing our intrigue as fellow Premier League outfits all monitor the 28-year-old’s situation on the south coast.
As well as the Reds, Man United, Man City, Chelsea, Wolves and Leicester City are keeping tabs on the Norwegian forward who came through the Red Devils academy after signing from Valerenga in 2008.
Would you be interested in signing Josh King?
Yes, bring him in
No, bang average
However, despite our apparent interest, many Reds supporters feel like a swoop for the striker would be a waste of time – claiming that he is ‘average‘ and simply a ‘Werner smokescreen‘.
Given his meagre goal return, at least going by current form, these supporters may be wise not to get too excited – find all of their best comments down below.
