Solanke signs new Bournemouth contract

AFC Bournemouth striker Dominic Solanke has signed a new contract, committing himself to the club until 2027.

The 26-year-old was the club's second-highest Premier League goalscorer last season, netting six times, and he recorded the most assists with seven.

Solanke has continued this fine form at the beginning of the 2023/24 campaign with Bournemouth, scoring two goals and assisting another, while he has recorded the quickest speed of any Premier League player this season, hitting 36.1km/h against Tottenham Hotspur.

Solanke has made 179 appearances across all competitions since joining the Cherries in January 2019, scoring 58 goals and providing 28 assists.

Solanke told the club's official website: "Since I came to the club, I've had such a good time. It's a great club, and over the last few years we've been going in the right direction - new owners, new coaches.

"Especially this season, we've got a lot to show, and over the next few years. The new players have brought a new ambition to the club, and that matches mine too. I'm just really excited to see what happens."
