Bournemouth have joined the race to sign England U21 striker of Nigerian descent Dominic Solanke in the January transfer window, according to reports.

The Sun says Bournemouth have contacted Liverpool regarding a loan spell for Dominic Solanke but also have their eye on Preston striker Callum Robinson.

Liverpool boss Jürgen Klopp will need assurances from The Cherries that Solanke will be afforded playing time before sanctioning his temporary departure from Anfield.

Scottish giants Rangers are also keen to land the 21-year-old on loan while Newcastle United, Crystal Palace and West Ham are reportedly monitoring his situation.

At the moment, Solanke is behind Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mané, Mohamed Salah, Daniel Sturridge and Divock Origi in Klopp's pecking order of offensive players.

The 2017 Fifa U20 World Cup Golden Ball winner has not made Liverpool's match day squad for Premier League and Champions League matches in the current season.
