Wolverhampton Wanderers are reportedly on the lookout for a new striker and are said to have looked at three strikers including Bournemouth attacker Josh King – and Wolves fans have urged their club to sign him.

Raul Jimenez’s head injury has left Wolves without a proven Premier League striker. Fabio Silva has replaced him, but the Portuguese talent is still only 18 years of age and the Midlands club need another striker.

The Athletic claim Wolves have targeted Real Madrid’s Luka Jovic and Liverpool outcast Divock Origi. But a new name has appeared on that shortlist, in the form of Bournemouth striker King – who is out of contract this summer.

The 51-time Norway international remained with Bournemouth despite relegation, but could now be available for a cut-price figure this month. In 161 Premier League appearances, he has scored 48 and created 15 more.

Wolves are not alone in their pursuit of King, though. The Daily Mail claim West Ham are also interested in King, having seen a £13million bid rejected for the ex-Manchester United striker in the summer.

Wolves supporters have reacted on Twitter to reports that their club are interested in battling the Hammers for King, and many feel he would be a good signing for Nuno Espirito Santo’s side as Jimenez continues to recover.
