Aston Villa linked once again with Joshua King

Bournemouth striker Joshua King has fallen into Aston Villa’s sphere of interest, once again, according to reports. The English side were said to be interested in signing the Norwegian forward back in September but it looks like the interest has been revived.

King was set to leave Bournemouth after relegation from the Premier League, but he still plays in the Championship. Reports suggest that Villa will look to take advantage of the opportunity and are preparing a bid in the region of £16 million for the Norweigian forward.

King’s current contract with Bournemouth runs until June 2021.

Last season, the 28-year-old played 27 games in a Cherries shirt, scoring six goals and four assists.

King will add more diversity to Aston Villa

Currently, Aston Villa are doing pretty well in the Premier League. I am sure we can all remember Villa beating Liverpool 7-2; which surprised the footballing world. Even though Ollie Watkins has established himself perfectly in the squad and Jack Grealish is also excellent, having a top-class forward is always a good option for a team like Aston Villa.

Norwegian Joshua King became a prominent name in Bournemouth. He was a key figure alongside Callum Wilson and if anyone scored goals for the team it was either of these two.

King is also a pivotal figure in the Norwegian national team, which has a generation of talented youngsters. With Haaland, Berge, Odegaard, and Hauge, King is also a central figure.

The Norwegian gambling industry has often used a strategy of promoting their players via casino channels and this is not a novelty. King’s case is not any different as the Norwegian player has been in the spotlight of Norwegian casino online operators that have popularized Bournemouth’s player.

Joshua King’s career

King was born and raised in Romsås, a suburb of Oslo in 1992 and is the son of Gambian and Norwegian parents.

Joshua started his career at the local Romsås Idrettslag at the age of six. In 2006, at the age of fourteen, he signed with Vålerenga, where he spent two seasons before being spotted by Manchester United scout Ole Gunnar Solskjaer – another very popular Norwegian player, who is currently coaching Manchester United.
