Bournemouth have added Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah to their shortlist of replacements for the departed Dominic Solanke.
Solanke’s spell with the Cherries came to an end as he completed his move to Tottenham last week in a deal worth £65m.
Bournemouth are now faced with the tough task of replacing the 26-year-old who scored 19 Premier League goals for them last season.
However, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has provided an update on their search for a new striker and reported they have now added Nkteiah to their shortlist after having a bid for Evanilson rejected by Porto.
“Bournemouth have added Eddie Nketiah to their list of options to replace Dom Solanke. Initial talks took place after bid rejected today by FC Porto for Evanilson. OM deal for Nketiah, completely off after they signed Wahi.”
Nketiah is available to Premier League clubs after his move to Marseille fell through as the French side weren’t prepared to meet Arsenal’s €30m valuation and they have instead signed Elye Wahi from Lens.
