Bournemouth striker Dominic Solanke is likely to cost in excess of £50million in the summer window amid interest from Newcastle and Tottenham, sources have told Football Insider.

Football Insider revealed on Saturday (13 January) that Magpies boss Eddie Howe is a “big fan” of Solanke, 26, after signing him during his time with the Cherries.

It is believed Newcastle are keen to sign a striker this summer following injury problems for Alexander Isak and Callum Wilson this season.

Sources have also told Football Insider (14 January) that Tottenham and Arsenal are also considering a potential swoop for Solanke.

A well-placed source has told Football Insider that Bournemouth are “bracing for offers” for the ex-Liverpool and Chelsea star.

It is believed the forward will cost more than £50million after showing he can cut it in the Premier League so far this season.

A home-grown premium will also be priced into any potential deal, with English stars a rare commodity in the top flight.

Solanke signed a new contract on the south coast just last year, keeping him with Bournemouth until June 2027.

He has scored 13 goals in 22 appearances across all competitions this term – with 12 of those strikes coming in the Premier League.

The 26-year-old has doubled his best Premier League return just halfway into the 2023-24 campaign.

Solanke, who has one cap for England, joined Bournemouth in 2019 for a reported £19million plus add-ons and has hit 69 goals in 196 games for the club.

The Cherries' current record sale stands at the reported £41million deal which took Nathan Ake to Man City.
