Bournemouth not expecting offer for star man amid reported Tottenham interest

Bournemouth are not expecting any formal bids for their main man Dominic Solanke this transfer window, talkSPORT understands.

Solanke has been Bournemouth's star forward this season and has scored 12 times in 20 Premier League appearances so far.

It has led to interest from Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur, both keen to bolster their attacks.

But talkSPORT understands that Bournemouth are not expecting to receive any formal offers for the 26-year-old between now and the end of the January transfer window.

The former Liverpool and Chelsea star has a contract with the Cherries until 2027.

While Bournemouth have not put a price on the striker, they are in no rush to sell Solanke and are in a strong position.

The Englishman has also not made any push to leave the Vitality Stadium this month with Bournemouth performing well in the Premier League.

Despite being one of the smaller sides in the division, they currently sit 13th in the table and are seven points above the relegation zone.

Tottenham had been keen on a striker this month with question marks still over Richarlison's quality while Harry Kane left in the summer.

Arsenal were also another club looking to potentially do business with Bournemouth for Solanke.

There has been much made of Mikel Arteta's somewhat floundering attack with Eddie Nketiah failing to hit the target and Gabriel Jesus' fitness problems.

Solanke signed for Bournemouth in 2019 after struggling at Liverpool while he took him some time to start hitting the net on the south coast.

After the Cherries were relegated in 2020, the forward found his form and scored 44 times in the Championship over two seasons.

His goals led Bournemouth back to the Premier League in 2022 but he has really found his feet under Androni Iraola this season.
