West Ham United are back in the hunt for Bournemouth striker Dominic Solanke ahead of the January transfer window. Dominic Solanke is once again wanted by West Ham United as David Moyes chases a new striker in January. That is according to The Mirror, who claim that West Ham are coming back in for Solanke’s signature. West Ham allowed Gianluca Scamacca to leave over the summer but didn’t bring in a direct replacement. Michail Antonio isn’t the force he was, Danny Ings hasn’t made an impact since joining from Aston Villa and Divin Mubama is still just a prospect. West Ham United want Dominic So ..read more

Crystal Palace have joined Premier League rivals AFC Bournemouth and Brentford in scouting Toulouse striker Thijs Dallinga on the back of an excellent start to the season in France’s Ligue 1.  Whenever a striker hits form and attracts admiring glances from Premier League suitors, questions almost always arise about whether he is capable of making the step up to life in English football. Thijs Dallinga, however, can point to a couple of Europa League goals against the mighty Liverpool to back up his potential. The 23-year-old Dutchman, called up by the senior Netherlands squad for the firs ..read more

AFC Bournemouth coach Andoni Iraola was left to rue an ‘amazing’ Darwin Nunez goal as the Liverpool striker fires Jurgen Klopp’s side into the quarter finals of the Carabao Cup.  Has any moment summed up Darwin Nunez’s Liverpool career more succinctly than this? A first touch so loose it drew jeers from the home support, and then a finish so wicked, so fearsome, it sent the travelling Reds fans into raptures just seconds later.  Clumsy and cumbersome one moment, dynamic and devastating the next. Darwin Nunez, ladies and gentlemen.  “We probably deserved more. The players deserve ..read more

One of the players who did well at Celtic and then moved to the Premier League in recent years is Ryan Christie. Ryan Christie was a big success at Celtic. During his time at the Hoops, Christie won the Scottish Premiership title twice, the Scottish Cup on two occasions, and the Scottish League Cup twice as well. In the summer of 2021, Bournemouth signed Christie from Celtic. The Cherries were then in the Championship in England. AFC Bournemouth chief executive Neill Blake described Christie as “outstanding” on the club’s official website at the time. Christie has since helped Bournemouth get ..read more

Back in February, after Andoni Iraola turned down the chance to leave Rayo Vallecano for Leeds United, La Liga expert Terry Gibson wondered if such an opportunity had simply come at the wrong time for the 41-year-old Spaniard.  Leeds United were, after all, staring down the barrel of relegation at the time. And, as Gibson pointed out on El Tel and Jon’s La Liga Weekly podcast, Andoni Iraola would have arrived under pressure to immediately turn around a sinking ship without the benefits of a full pre-season or – due to a gruelling fixture schedule – sufficient time on the training pitch.&n ..read more

Luis Sinisterra’s agent admits he ‘would have liked to see’ the former Leeds United winger join Serie A giants AC Milan or Roma rather than return to the Premier League with AFC Bournemouth.  It speaks volumes about the lure of England’s top-flight that both Luis Sinisterra and Tyler Adams simply leaped at the opportunity to join Bournemouth – hardly one of the division’s big hitters – rather than stick around and help Leeds United bounce back.  Now one of only two winless teams in the Premier League, there will certainly be no sympathy afforded to Sinisterra at Elland Road if the Co ..read more

And today, the Germany international, who can operate as an attacking mid ..read more

Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola has praised defender Lloyd Kelly for his attitude after missing out on a move to Tottenham Hotspur. Lloyd Kelly has ‘trained really well’ with Bournemouth having seen Tottenham Hotspur go quiet on a late transfer. Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola has moved to praise defender Kelly having missed out on a move to Spurs. Tottenham were in the market for a homegrown defender before the summer transfer deadline having also targeted Fulham’s Tosin Adarabioyo and Chelsea’s Trevoh Chalobah. Kelly was one target for Spurs and TalkSPORT’s Alex Crook reported that Tottenham d ..read more
