Arsenal are interested in signing Bournemouth's Dominic Solanke for the January transfer window.
The striker is considered as an alternative for the Gunners in case they are unable to secure a deal for Brentford's Ivan Toney.
Despite Bournemouth's likely reluctance to part with their key player mid-season, let's take a look at four potential swap deals that could enhance Arsenal's offer in their pursuit of a new striker.
Emile Smith Rowe
Arsenal's Emile Smith Rowe, seeking regular playing time, might be included in a swap deal for Dominic Solanke. Falling down the pecking order at Arsenal, a move to Bournemouth could offer Smith Rowe the chance to become a key figure in their attacking lineup under Andoni Iraola.
Reiss Nelson
Similar to Smith Rowe, Reiss Nelson, who has seen limited opportunities at Arsenal, could contemplate a move to Bournemouth. Joining Iraola's squad might allow Nelson to play a more significant role and provide Arsenal with a potential cost-saving to facilitate Solanke's transfer.
Eddie Nketiah
To soften the blow of losing Solanke, Bournemouth could receive Eddie Nketiah in return. Nketiah, facing increased competition at Arsenal, could secure a prominent role at the Vitality Stadium, benefiting both clubs with a striker exchange.
Cedric Soares
With Bournemouth facing a right-back shortage due to Max Aarons' injury, Arsenal's Cedric Soares could fill the void in a potential deal. Soares, nearing the end of his contract at Arsenal, could offer a solution for Bournemouth while providing Arsenal with value in Solanke negotiations.
