Many Everton fans have been left lauding a reported Transfer Deadline Day enquiry from their club for AFC Bournemouth striker Josh King.
As per a tweet from the BBC journalist Ian Dennis, the Goodison Park faithful have enquired about the availability of the Norway international before the deadline hits, but no offer has been made, as of yet, to the Cherries.

The Merseyside club are in desperate need of cover for Dominic Calvert-Lewin in case the England international finds himself injured, in need of a rest or out of form for a long period of time.
King has plenty of experience playing in the Premier League, with no fewer than 48 goals and a further 15 assists in 161 games in total over five consecutive terms in the English top-flight (Transfermarkt).

Thus, the 29-year-old, currently valued at £9.9m by Transfermarkt, would likely not need much time to adapt to the division and as such, he should be ready to slot straight into Carlo Ancelotti’s team if and when he’s needed.
Everton fan reaction to King enquiry
These Toffees lauded the enquiry made about the striker on Twitter:
“Come on!!!!”
“That’s more like it Everton”
“This guy ripped us on the last day of the season, he’s an option off the bench, it’s better than having two keepers sat on the bench”
“Yes from me”
“If Carlo wants him then we should trust him because he has got us talent so far and need to add to it COYB”
“I wanted him Jan 1st, so if we have him by midnight I don’t really care – he is needed. I would love a pacey winger too but let’s see. King might give cover for both.”
