Football understands that Bournemouth’s EPL striker, Dominic Solanke, has made a significant commitment by choosing to pledge allegiance to represent Nigeria on the international stage.
Despite being repeatedly overlooked by England’s national team, he now remains open to a call-up from the Super Eagles.
Solanke’s current season with Bournemouth has been impressive, with four goals to his name.
Born in England to a Nigerian father and British mother, he possesses the eligibility to don the green and white jersey of Nigeria’s Super Eagles.
The Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) now has the opportunity to make this happen.
However, it’s worth noting that Nigeria already boasts a strong lineup of talented forwards, including Victor Osimhen, Victor Boniface, Gift Orban, Taiwo Awoniyi, Kelechi Iheanacho, Cyriel Dessers, Terem Moffi, and Sadiq Umar in similar positions.
So, the question arises: Would you, the fans, like to see Dominic Solanke join the Super Eagles’ ranks?
Meanwhile, Bournemouth had reason to celebrate as they recently announced that Solanke has committed to a new contract with the club.
This extension ensures that Solanke will remain with Bournemouth until 2027, providing him with a stable platform to showcase his skills.
The decision to re-sign this former Chelsea academy striker reflects Bournemouth’s ambition.
It’s a statement of intent, especially considering that they turned down offers from West Ham and interest from Fulham earlier this summer.
