The one-time Liverpool striker has struggled to justify the big-money deal.
Liverpool fans on Twitter are criticising former player Dominic Solanke.
The Bournemouth striker started and lasted 89 minutes of Monday night’s defeat by Arsenal in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
But the 22-year-old, who joined the Cherries from Liverpool on a permanent basis 12 months ago, flattered to deceive against the Gunners.
It’s bad news if you fail to trouble a centre-back pairing of Sokratis Papastathopoulos and Skhodran Mustafi, but that’s precisely what the former Reds attacker did last night.
According to BBC Sport, Liverpool scooped a little under £20 million for the English forward, who is still waiting on his first Premier League goal for Eddie Howe’s side despite making 31 appearances.
Here’s how fans of the Anfield club reacted to his performance last night.
Michael Edwards, the club’s Director of Football, is indeed something of a guru when it comes to buying and selling players.
He has pulled off some bargains – like spending slightly over £70 million on Sadio Mane, Mo Salah and Andy Robertson for instance – during his time working alongside Klopp, but the money received for Solanke has to be considered an absolute blinder of a deal.
