News broke this week that Chelsea youngster Dominic Solanke will leave the club upon the expiration of his contract in the summer, with a whole host of Premier League teams looking to win the race for his signature (the Sun).

The 19-year-old forward is highly regarding within the game, and wants to leave Chelsea in the hope of receiving more first-team opportunities.

The problem, however, is that most of the teams linked with Solanke are massive clubs, and he could very well be faced wth the same game-time issues, if he joins a club such as Liverpool – who are reportedly leading the race for his signature (the Sun).

And the Baggies should consider entering the race for the Blues youngster, and tempt him to move to the Hawthorns with the promise of regular action in the starting line-up.

Tony Pulis is desperately looking to add more firepower to his squad, and the addition of Solanke in the summer could be just what he needs.

He is young, with a lot to prove within the game still, and has pace in abundance, along with exceptional technical ability.

He is also a smart finisher, when presented with a goalscoring opportunity.

Solanke would also be the ideal strike partner for Salomon Rondon, and the pair’s individual styles would compliment each other perfectly.

Attracting the Chelsea youngster to the Hawthorns, ahead of a potential move to Anfield, will obviously be a challenging task, but if Solanke is truly determined to progress as a footballer, joining West Brom could very well be the best move for his career, as far as his development as a player is concerned.
