Bournemouth striker Josh King has thrown down gauntlet at Sweden's defenders.

Ahead of Norway's Euros qualifier with Sweden, King was asked about facing Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof and HIF's Andreas Granqvist.

He said, "I play in the Premier League against tough defenders every week, so nothing new.

"Of course, these are two tough players, so I have a tough job ahead of me. But if you are wondering if I am afraid to meet Lindelf and Granqvist, then the answer is 'no'."

King was speaking after victory over Malta and added: "Today it was boring to play. I'm not gonna lie. There wasn't much ball to play. They just lay back, back, back."
