Published: January 04, 2019

Through their official website, Liverpool have confirmed that Nigeria-eligible striker Dominic Solanke has completed a permanent transfer to Premier League rivals Bournemouth.

The financial terms and duration of the long-term contract he signed with The Cherries were not disclosed though a fee of around 19 million pounds has been mooted.

Solanke has one England cap to his name and was a key member of the Young Lions squad that won the FIFA U20 World Cup in South Korea in the summer of 2017.

The 21-year-old departs the Anfield side with 27 appearances to his name, scoring one goal.

His only goal in a Liverpool shirt came on the final day of last season in a 4-0 win against Brighton & Hove.

He joins Jordon Ibe and Flying Eagles midfielder Nnamdi Ofoborh at Bournemouth.
