West Ham United have failed with a bid for Bournemouth striker Josh King.
The Norway international is a top target for Premier League clubs with the domestic transfer window to close on Friday.
Among those interested are West Ham, though their opening offer has been turned down.
VG says a £12m bid from the Irons has been turned down.
With just nine months to run on his contract, there's a confidence the Cherries would be willing to sell for €18m.
