Everton are 'interested in signing Bournemouth striker Joshua King on a permanent basis' as they see 'aspects of Dominic Calvert-Lewin in the forward'

Everton are reportedly interested in signing Bournemouth striker Joshua King on a permanent basis despite his slow start to life at Goodison Park.

King penned a six-month loan deal worth £5million after choosing Carlo Ancelotti's men over Fulham on deadline day.

The 29-year-old has, however, struggled to break into Everton’s starting XI – having made just five substitute appearances in the Premier League and failed to register a single goal.
