A striker with pace is wanted and among the names linked are Lille’s Eder, who scored the winner for Portugal in the Euro 2016 final. Leeds’ Chris Wood, who scored 27 Championship goals last season is another name said to be on the shortlist, but there are many fans who would be underwhelmed with his addition.
Manager Eddie Howe said he is still keen to bring in some more new faces and Bournemouth have had a bid for Leicester’s Demarai Gray turned down.
