Liverpool’s Dominic Solanke is reportedly joining another Premier League club with Crystal Palace and Huddersfield interested.
We are almost midway through the Premier League season now and it is very obvious where Crystal Palace and Huddersfield Town must strengthen in the January transfer window.
Yes, Roy Hodgson’s Palace pulled off one of the shock results of the campaign with their 3-2 win at Manchester City on Saturday, but the lack of a natural goal-scorer remains a real problem with Jordan Ayew and Alexander Sorloth looking out of their depth in the absence of Christian Benteke.
Huddersfield Town, meanwhile, have scored the fewest goals in the top flight this season (11) with just four of those coming from open play.
But, according to the Sun (23 December, page 64) reports that Dominic Solanke could be on his way to Selhurst Park or the John Smith’s Stadium to add some much needed firepower.
Liverpool have told the England U21 international that he can leave Anfield on loan next month and it is understood that he is in talks with both Crystal Palace and Huddersfield, with a decision on his future set to be made next week.
Liverpool are renowned for playing hardball over their loanees and, in a rather surprising request, The Sun claims that they have demanded that Solanke will be put on penalty duty while being given the requisite game-time at his new club.
Rangers have been heavily linked with Solanke of late, the Express claiming that he was Steven Gerrard’s top target, but it is understood that Liverpool want the former Chelsea striker to join another Premier League club on loan instead.
