Bournemouth are keen to sign Josh King from Blackburn Rovers, according to Sky sources.

The forward is also said to have been offered a new contract at Ewood Park but may now have his head turned by the opportunity to play in the Premier League next season.

The Cherries showed interested in King during January’s transfer window.

The 23-year-old Norway international, who was a trainee at Manchester United, scored six goals in 23 appearances for Rovers this season.

King signed for Rovers in January 2013, following a short loan spell at the Lancashire club.
