English Premier League side AFC Bournemouth are reportedly considering the possible acquisition of Eddie Nketiah to bolster their upfront after the exit of Dominic Solanke.
Nketiah has emerged on the wishlist of the Cherries after their after bid for Porto striker Evanilson was rejected by the Portuguese giants.
Bournemouth are in the market looking for a direct replacement for Dominic Solanke, who has joined Tottenham Hotspur and have turned to Nketiah as his move to Marseille has fallen through.
The wantaway striker had his eyes set on a move to Ligue 1, with the Gunners and the Riviera club in protracted negotiations over his transfer fee.
Arsenal were keen not to be moved from their valuation of the academy player, who scored six times and assisted a further three goals during his 36 appearances across all competitions for the north London side last season.
Personal terms between Nketiah and Marseille had been agreed, but the club have instead sprung for Lens forward Elye Wahi in their bid to bolster their attacking ranks after bringing former Manchester United player Mason Greenwood into the side earlier in the transfer window.
Bournemouth meanwhile saw Solanke's move to Tottenham last week break their transfer record, with the striker departing to the tune of £65m.
Nketiah is believed to be keen to complete a move before the end of the summer window in a bid to boost his playing time, after failing to cement a permanent spot in Mikel Arteta's starting eleven.
Nketiah has also reportedly opted to announce his intention to play for Ghana at the international level after playing for England at the youth levels.
