However, his personal terms are causing headaches among his admirers.
The Norwegian, 29, is looking for top cash and that is cooling Everton’s interest.
The Toffees see him as a squad option rather than a guaranteed starter on a major wage.
Newcastle, Aston Villa and Fulham are also watching developments.
However, they are happy to consider taking him in the summer – to avoid a transfer fee.
King is also willing to wait until he goes free and can pick up the kind of deal former team-mate Callum Wilson earned when he signed for the Toon.
Everton may look elsewhere or shelve plans to move out Cenk Tosun if King proves to be too dear.
They were considering a low fee or a swap to get the transfer going this month.

Bournemouth have several other leading players out of contract in the summer.
However, they are using them in their promotion bid and will accept losing them if they go for nothing.
Despite that, the Cherries want Junior Stanislas to sign a new deal to keep him long term.
