Newcastle United have been linked with a possible move for AFC Bournemouth striker Dominic Solanke this month. The Magpies are reportedly looking for a striker to bolster their squad after a disappointing start to the campaign.
Newcastle United are looking to move up the Premier League table this season. The team has faced challenges in the attacking department, particularly during Harvey Barnes’ injury absence and Alexander Isak’s fitness issues. Given this, an offensive signing is considered a possible solution.
Recent reports suggested that Newcastle have inquired about the availability of Bournemouth striker Dominic Solanke, but the Cherries have reportedly communicated that he will not be sold in this transfer window.
Solanke boasts an impressive record of 65 goals in 180 league games for Bournemouth, a feat achieved while the club was in the bottom half of the table. Given his goal-scoring ability, Solanke is considered an attractive option and Chris Sutton believes Arsenal stand out as the ideal destination for Solanke, but has since urged the Magpies to bid for the in-form striker.
He told the Daily Mail: “I think he is finding himself. Now he knows his game. You could have questioned his goalscoring record in the past, but at the moment, I think Newcastle are right to bet on him.”
