Newcastle United have recently been linked with a move for in-form 26-year-old Bournemouth striker Dominic Solanke.
Dominic Solanke has been in fine form this season, scoring 13 goals across all competitions. However, a report by Football Transfers has claimed that Newcastle United have now shelved their plans to sign the Bournemouth striker until the end of the season.
The Rise of Dominic Solanke
Dominic Solanke has established himself as a reliable Premier League goalscorer since returning to the top flight with Bournemouth, and he could prove to be a quality addition to the Newcastle United squad. So, it is hardly surprising that the Magpies have shown interest in him.
They need to bring in more depth to their attacking unit, and the 26-year-old could be the ideal partner for Alexander Isak in the attack. Callum Wilson has been a quality performer for Newcastle United. But his availability remains a concern because of his well-documented fitness issues.
Newcastle must look to add more quality to the side if they want to compete in the Champions League regularly and win trophies in the coming seasons. Bournemouth striker Dominic Solanke will be tempted to join a club like Newcastle if there is an opportunity ahead of him. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops.
Newcastle United Need Signings
The Magpies are currently going through a rough patch and will be desperate to secure European qualification for next season. Signing the right players in January will certainly help them turn things around, and it remains to be seen whether they can plug the gaps in their squad. They have picked up just one win from the last six Premier League matches.
Apart from a quality striker, they should look to invest in central midfielders and equality central defender. However, Newcastle are going through financial limitations because they have to comply with the FFP regulations. They are unlikely to be able to spend big money this month, and Eddie Howe will have to hunt for bargains in the market.
Dominic Solanke is unlikely to be a cheap acquisition and Bournemouth will look to demand the premium for their prized asset. Newcastle will have to shell out a substantial amount of money for him, and a summer move would make more sense.
