According to reports, Bournemouth striker Dominic Solanke is a target for Arsenal.
If an agreement for Ivan Toney cannot be reached for a fair price, Mikel Arteta may look to move for the 26-year-old striker, according to a Daily Star report.
Tottenham and Chelsea are also interested in the Brentford striker. Arsenal is unwilling to pay a premium for Toney.
Solanke has had a fantastic start to the season with Bournemouth, tallying nine goals and one assist in all competitions. The manager of Arsenal has expressed admiration for his diligent work ethic, but it is unclear if the Gunners will be able to hire him.
West Ham United will compete with them. David Moyes is keeping an eye on the 26-year-old striker, whom the Hammers are in desperate need of.
The idea of playing for a major team like Arsenal will appeal to the former Liverpool striker, but he needs to look for a team where he will have plenty of first-team experience. At this point in his career, he cannot afford to be a benchwarmer.
Solanke could be a great addition to Arsenal, who need more attacking depth. He is a seasoned veteran of the Premier League and has made himself at home. He could have an instant effect at the club in North London. In addition, he is currently brimming with confidence and seeks to establish himself at a major league team following a disappointing stint with Liverpool.
In addition to his goal-scoring prowess, his physicality and hold-up play will give the Arsenal attack a fresh perspective.
