Bournemouth boss Howe: King can be happy with his season

Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe says Josh King can be happy with his season.

The Norwegian netted 12 times for Cherries this campaign, all in the Premier League, including one in the final-day defeat at Crystal Palace on Sunday.

Howe told the Daily Echo: “I think Josh is one that will look at the goal tally and judge himself that way.

“He could've easily had more goals this season, but overall I've been pleased with his performances.

“I think that, for me, is always the true judge. It's not necessarily defined by how many goals you end up with.

“He's contributed to the team. He's always the type of player that, even if he doesn't score, is giving the team certain things that we need.

“He can be very pleased with his season overall."
