# West Ham United: Kaveh Solhekol drops Joshua King update as GSB interest remains

**Speaking to Sky Sports News, via [Football Daily](https://twitter.com/footballdaily/status/1351944799918678017), journalist and transfer insider Kaveh Solhekol has claimed that West Ham United are still very much interested in signing Bournemouth striker Joshua King this transfer window – with David Moyes apparently not giving up on his pursuit and could still sign him.**

Reports linking King with a move to the London Stadium had somewhat died down in recent weeks, but Solhekol now claims GSB and Moyes are still eyeing a pursuit for the 51-cap Norwegian this month ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/joshua-king/profil/spieler/91059)).

### West Ham still want King

This comes as the odds of signing other targets, like Sevilla front man Youssef En-Nesyri, appear lost – with fellow reporter David Ornstein claiming the race is all but over for the Moroccan ([Twitter](https://twitter.com/David_Ornstein/status/1352186048667901953)).

However, Sky Sports reporter Solhekol now believes that West Ham could still sign King in this window – with the reporter revealing that they are still very much keeping tabs.

### Transfer Tavern take

Claiming he’s ‘[been told](https://twitter.com/footballdaily/status/1351944799918678017)‘ the Hammers are still ‘[very much interested](https://twitter.com/footballdaily/status/1351944799918678017)‘, Solhekol’s claim could come as good news given that Moyes is arguably in dire need of a new front man, after talkSPORT reporter Alex Crook recently stated that the 29-year-old is ‘[desperate](https://talksport.com/football/810472/)‘ to join West Ham.

Time will tell whether they do end up landing him as their January solution, but the final stretch of the January transfer window is now approaching.
