Emile Heskey is backing West Ham United or West Bromwich Albion to make a move for Josh King before the transfer window closes on February 1, speaking exclusively to HITC.
As the Wolves close in on a deal to bring in Willian José on loan from Real Sociedad, Bournemouth should still be assuming the worst regarding the future of their coveted Norwegian international.
It seems increasingly unlikely that King is filling Raúl Jiménez’s boots at Molineux anytime soon, but there are still a couple of other Premier League clubs desperate for attacking reinforcements.

The Sun reported a few weeks ago that King is a target for both West Ham and West Brom. In addition, Bournemouth will consider deals of £ 15 million with the former Manchester United youngster who will become a free agent in July.
And Heskey believes King’s proven track record in the top flight would make him a smart move for David Moyes or Sam Allardyce.
“It gives you that rhythm, that openness, understands the league. He is an international player. I think they (West Brom and West Ham) should be looking at someone like him, ”says the former England ace of King, who scored 12 Premier League goals in the 2018/19 season and another 16 in 2016/17. .
“By having him in this part of the season, he should be able to go to work because he knows what it is about.”
Heskey, however, believes that King should be careful to join a West Brom that, with just 11 points from 19 games, needs a miracle to avoid an immediate return to the Championship.

West Ham, meanwhile, are enjoying their best start to the season since 1985/86 and Heskey feels the decision to sell Sebastien Haller to Ajax was a good deal, even if the Londoners were forced to accept a 20 loss. million pounds sterling. signing of records.
“I think at some point you have to cut your losses,” he adds about a man who never adapted to the speed and ruthlessness of England’s top flight.
“If he’s not giving you what you want, keep going. It’s a tough league and you’re constantly being judged on everything.
“If you’re not used to it or can’t get over it, it will eat you up.”
Haller already looks like a man born again in the Netherlands, scoring once and providing a trio of assists in his first three Ajax games.
