Chelsea expected to battle three Premier League rivals for in-demand Bournemouth star

Chelsea are eyeing AFC Bournemouth striker Josh King ahead of a summer transfer, according to Sky Sports. King has established himself as one of the good prospects. King maintained a strike-rate of nearly a goal every three games for the Cherries since moving to the Vitality Stadium in 2015. And now four of the Premier League top-six clubs are interested in him. Manchester United made a £20million bid for him on deadline day in January, although Bournemouth rejected the bid and United signed Odion Ighalo on loan from Shanghai Shenhua instead. Chelsea are also monitoring the player who would provide the club with vital attacking versatility. King has scored 48 times for Bournemouth in 163 appearances while notching 17 goals in 46 international outings. He has just one year left on his contract at the club.
