West Ham United are apparently in talks to bring the absolutely perfect striker to the club this summer.
David Moyes needs to sign a top-class striker in the summer transfer window to complete his West Ham starting XI.
Bournemouth hitman Dominic Solanke is believed to be the Hammers’ number one transfer target, and we’re allegedly prepared to offer him a whopping £115k-a-week contract to tempt him into joining us.
The 26-year-old Cherries striker has been in sensational form this season, and aside from his goals, he has proven that he’s the ideal forward to come in and play in our system.
Bournemouth are said to be demanding around £50 million for Solanke. Whilst that sounds like an awful lot of money, I strongly believe that we should just cough up the money.
The former Chelsea and Liverpool striker would take us to another level entirely…
West Ham must sign the perfect striker this summer
If the Hammers manage to sign Solanke, we will have an absolutely devastating front four, as long as we keep hold of Lucas Paqueta, Mohammed Kudus and Jarrod Bowen of course.
The 26-year-old striker has absolutely everything needed to play in Moyes’s system.
Solanke has been red-hot for Bournemouth so far this season, with 16 goals and four assists in 31 games to his name. He’s bagged 49 league goals since the start of the 2021/22 campaign – a really fine return (Transfermarkt).
He’s currently sitting behind only Erling Haaland, Ollie Watkins and Mohamed Salah in the Premier League goalscoring charts this term, and that in itself tells us all we need to know about his quality.
Crucially, Solanke is the absolutely perfect striker for Moyes’s system. He is always willing to run the channels, and relishes the physical battle with opposing defenders.
I think that the Bournemouth striker would push us on to another level, and I reckon he’d score even more goals for us than he has done this term, with Paqueta, Bowen and Kudus around him.
As mentioned earlier though, it remains to be seen whether we can keep those three players at the club. Also, will the West Ham board be prepared to pay £50 million for Solanke? Let’s hope so, because he would complete us as a team.
