Premier League side Bournemouth appear to have made a major adjustment to their strategy in the transfer market, according to a new report from the Daily Mail. The club may abandon their previous pursuit of Arsenal striker Nketiah after successfully finalizing the transfer of Porto striker Evanilson.
Behind this decision is Bournemouth's reconsideration of the team's striker configuration. They have been actively looking for a replacement for Solanke to boost the team's attacking firepower. After Nketiah's move to Marseille failed to materialize, Bournemouth had once set their sights on the Arsenal striker to fill the void left by Solanke's departure. However, that plan seems to have changed with the arrival of Evanilson.
Evanilson, the 24-year-old Brazilian striker, has attracted the attention of Bournemouth with his outstanding goal-scoring ability and potential. It is reported that Bournemouth has reached an agreement with Porto on the transfer of Evanilson, with a transfer fee of up to 40 million pounds, a figure that also creates a record transfer fee for Bournemouth's club attraction. This heavy signing will undoubtedly make Bournemouth fans excited, and they are looking forward to Ewanilson bringing new energy and goals to the team.
In contrast, Nketiah's transfer prospects are a bit of a mystery. Although he is keen to complete a move to increase his playing time before the end of the summer window, his future is filled with uncertainty as he has failed to establish himself in Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta's starting lineup. Premier League clubs such as Crystal Palace have shown strong interest in Nketiah, but the road to a move may be made more difficult in the face of Bournemouth's firm choice for Evanilson.
For Bournemouth, giving up on Nketiah does not mean that they have given up on their efforts to improve the strength of the team. On the contrary, they have laid a solid foundation for the future development of the team by signing Evanilson, a striker with more potential and immediate potential. At the same time, it also shows that Bournemouth has a clear strategic goal and vision in the transfer market, and they are steadily moving towards a higher goal.
