Pearson impressed by rise of King

The 21-year-old academy product capped another impressive display with his fourth goal of the season in Saturday's FA Cup third-round victory over Championship promotion rivals Swansea. Pearson is delighted by the contribution King is making to the team. He said: "He was exceptional again on Saturday. For a young man, in his second full season, he's playing well but his contribution on all levels is excellent."
