ULLEVAAL (VG) Transitional Joshua King (28) holds the cards close to his chest.
– I still don’t know what will happen in the future. Now I only focus on the national team and the games on Friday and Monday, King answers questions about the future of his own club and continues:
– I do not want to comment on anything else and make headlines. I’m in the situation I’m in, but you don’t get anything else from me.
Dagbladet tried first, then Nettavisen made an attempt, but also the second time the Norwegian star was determined:
– You will not receive any comments.
VG wanted to know that the fact that he recently trained with Stabæk is a sign that he will not return to Bournemouth, which is in the process of preparing for the season.
– Don’t give up, that’s it. I am in a meeting, I am in Norway. That he should go back to England, quarantine and go back to harvesting, it didn’t make sense. I also had a baby in April that I hadn’t seen in ten weeks. We’ll see what happens after Monday when the last game is played. There is nothing special behind it, says King.
Bournemouth were relegated from the Premier League this summer and after midfielder Nathan Aké signed for Manchester City, rumors have spread that King will be second at Vitality Stadium. He has only one year left on his contract and he switched agents to Jim Solbakken earlier this summer.
Reports in the English press have especially linked the Norwegian to Newcastle and Tottenham. The latter’s former forward, Darren Bent, tells TalkSport that he anticipates King will be a good match for Harry Kane at the top of the Spurs.
– It’s good enough, says Bent, who is “a huge fan of Joshua King.”
According to the Daily Mail, there is a long list of clubs following King: Milan, Lazio, Roma, Brighton, Everton and several other Premier League clubs will reportedly have the Norwegian in binoculars during the transfer window in course.
The Norwegian was relevant to Manchester United on the last day of the transfer window in January, but Ole Gunnar Solskjær’s club ultimately opted to bet on Odion Ighalo. Later, King admitted to TV 2 that he “had some faith” that a return to the old club could take place, and that the reports of an offer from United were correct.
