According to a report by Sky Sports, Arsenal are keen to bring in former Liverpool striker Dominic Solanke as an option up front. The English striker had a fantastic season, scoring 19 in the premier League to help the Cherries to 12th on the table.
The former Reds man is valued at about £65 million following his fine campaign and the Gunners search for a striker could see him return to London. Solanke began his career at Chelsea, before joining Liverpool. The Englishman moved to the South Coast in 2019 for about £16 million and has been there ever since.
The 26-year-old has developed into a fine player, with his link up play and eye for goal making him a great addition to any team. The Gunners could use a more traditional option leading the line next season, offering another option beyond Kai Havertz in the false nine role.
