Former Man Utd star linked with January Premier League return as current club ‘consider terminating contract’
FORMER Manchester United striker Josh King is expected to leave Fenerbahce in January, according to reports.
King, 31, joined the Turkish side in July 2022 and has since scored 11 goals in 38 appearances.
However, his game time this season has been limited due to injury.
Ismail Kartal is now prepared to offer the striker a mutual contract termination.
Should he leave Fenerbahce in January, King will become a free agent.
And according to Turkish outlet Milliyet, Sheffield United are monitoring him.
The Blades allegedly expressed an interest in signing the Norway international earlier this year, but they could not reach an agreement with Fenerbahce.
Paul Heckingbottom is now expected to reignite his interest ahead of the upcoming transfer window.
Sheffield United currently sit 18th in the Premier League table, four points adrift of Luton.
King already has plenty of experience playing in England.

He signed for Man Utd at the age of 16 and spent five years at the club, making just two appearances.
The striker then joined Blackburn on a permanent transfer, but his most prolific period came with Bournemouth.
He scored 53 goals and provided 19 assists in 184 appearances during his six-year spell with the Cherries.
King then went on to play for Everton and Watford before joining Fenerbahce last summer.
