West Ham United Are Hoping To Move In For This Star Forward: Good Fit For The Hammers?
The Daily Telegraph recently reported that West Ham United are interested in signing Bournemouth forward Dominic Solanke. According to reports, the Hammers are interested in signing the English striker during the summer transfer season.
Solanke’s Impressive Premier League Form This season, Solanke has excelled at the Vitality Stadium, scoring numerous goals for the Cherries. The Englishman has 16 goals and four assists in 28 appearances for Bournemouth this season across all competitions.
The 26-year-old has performed well in the final third, averaging 3.2 shots, 0.9 critical passes, and 1.1 dribbles per 90 minutes in the Premier League. He has even been disseminated possession rather well, with a pass completion rate of 75.1% in the English top division (data via whoscored).
His current deal with Bournemouth will expire in the summer of 2027. As a result, if the Hammers want to recruit the English centre-forward at the conclusion of the season, they will need to make a compelling offer.
Is Solanke a good fit for West Ham United?
Solanke can create space for himself to take some shots at goal. With his efforts at Bournemouth this season, he has established himself to be a capable finisher in the final third. The English superstar can create some attractive opportunities for his teammates up front and is generally astute in and around the opponent’s penalty box.
Solanke is currently enjoying his football at the Vitality Stadium, making it difficult for the Hammers to persuade him to the London Stadium in the summer. Nonetheless, there is no disputing that the Bournemouth striker would significantly boost West Ham’s attack.
At 26, Solanke will only improve in the next seasons. As a result, he would be an ideal candidate for the East London club’s current needs. Solanke is talented enough to provide healthy competition for Michail Antonio at West Ham United in the future. Thus, the Hammers should think about getting him on board shortly.
