Blackburn boss Bowyer doesn't want to lose Cup hero King

Blackburn Rovers boss Gary Bowyer says he doesn't want to lose Josh King.

Former Manchester United striker King hit a hat-trick in their FA Cup win over Stoke City.

The 23-year-old Norwegian is due to become a free agent in the summer and after this performance can expect a host of offers.

"The club are in talks with Josh," confirmed manager Gary Bowyer after the best win of his managerial career.

"When I took over the main aim was to keep out of the papers because the headlines were for the wrong reasons but hopefully now we are going to get some positive reports for our football."
