Many Everton fans have been left to slam Josh King as Football Insider have reported that they are set to snub a long-term deal for the Norway international.

As per the news outlet, the Goodison Park faithful are set to pursue other transfer targets in the forward area in the summer window, with Carlo Ancelotti deciding not to take up the option of signing King permanently.

The former AFC Bournemouth man has still not yet started a game for the Merseyside club since his move in January, and has only played in a mere eight matches in total in the Premier League (Transfermarkt).

Thus, with him not getting much time on the pitch, it may be a wise idea by the Toffees to potentially look at bringing in other strikers.

"Looked overweight and sluggish when he’s played. I know he hasn’t really had a chance but he’s obviously stinking the yard out in training"
