Bournemouth target Nketiah as possible Solanke replacement

Bournemouth have added Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah to their list of replacements for the departed Dominic Solanke.

Solanke’s time with the Cherries came to an end when he completed his transfer to Tottenham last week in a deal worth £65million.

Bournemouth now face the difficult task of replacing the 26-year-old who scored 19 Premier League goals last season.

However, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has provided an update on their search for a new striker, reporting that they have now added Nkteiah to their shortlist after Porto rejected a bid for Evanilson.

“Bournemouth have added Eddie Nketiah to their list of options to replace Dom Solanke. Initial talks came after FC Porto rejected their offer for Evanilson today. The deal with OM for Nketiah was completely voided following the signing of Wahi.”

Nketiah is available to Premier League clubs after his move to Marseille fell through because the French side were not prepared to meet Arsenal’s €30m valuation and signed Elye Wahi from Lens instead.
