Scouting Report & Player Insights
Josh King is a Norwegian forward capable of playing across the front line, best remembered for his prolific spell at Bournemouth where his pace, movement and clinical finishing made him a genuine Premier League goal threat. Now in his mid-thirties, he offers experience, intelligent off-ball running and a reliable technical base rather than the explosiveness of his peak years. Injuries have interrupted his career at points, and at this stage he profiles as a squad option who can still contribute goals and know-how in the final third.
