Why Solanke is so Special

After making huge strides since joining Bournemouth roughly four years ago in a £19 million deal, it's been terrific to see Dominic Solanke now truly stamping his mark at the Premier League level, as he's been in exceptional form for the Cherries this campaign.
Relishing working under the tutelage of Andoni Iraola, who arrived in the summer, the former Liverpool and Chelsea sensation has elevated his output impressively on his way to bagging 14 league goals already.
Sitting behind only the elite Erling Haaland and Mohamed Salah in the scoring charts, there's no doubting what a force to be reckoned with he's been within this attackingly-geared outfit.
Aside from grabbing a scintillating hat-trick vs. Nottingham Forest, the fact he's also found the back of the net against the likes of Manchester United, Newcastle United, Aston Villa, West Ham, Brighton & Hove Albion, Brentford and Fulham has further underlined his class.
Playing with huge confidence and showing that he was what it takes to be a consistent force in the Premier League, Solanke's got a big 2024 in store, with a potential spot in England's Euro squad and a move to one of Europe's heavy hitters potentially on the cards.
But the determined and experienced Solanke won't be getting too far ahead of himself, as his sole focus will be to keep producing the goods at Bournemouth under a manager who's getting the best out of him.
The rest will then take care of itself.
