Dominic Solanke breaks his own goal-scoring record in the Premier League.
Solanke is having his best-ever scoring season in the PL.
With his goal in Sunday's match against Aston Villa, he has reached 7 season goals, making the 2023/24 season the one in which he has scored the most goals in the Premier League, and this is only after 14 games played.
The 26-year-old Solanke has played 5 seasons in the Premier League, 3 for Liverpool and 2 for Bournemouth. Bournemouth secured promotion to the Premier League again last season, where he scored 6 goals, slightly disappointing considering that in the previous year, 2021/22, he had scored 29 goals in the Championship.
◉ 2023/24: 7 goals (Bournemouth)
◉ 2022/23: 6 goals (Bournemouth)
◉ 2019/20: 3 goals (Liverpool)
◉ 2017/18: 1 goal (Liverpool)
Solanke is Bournemouth's clear first choice in attack this season. The trust seems to have matured him, and he has taken on more responsibility, which has propelled him as a football player. Solanke has worked on getting more shots on goal, and he is currently the player with the third most shots in the Premier League, surpassed only by Haaland and Nunez.
Most shots in the Premier League 2023/24:
◉ Erling Haaland (56)
◉ Darwin Nunez (47)
◉ Dominic Solanke (41)
◉ Ollie Watkins (40)
This season, Solanke's goal could be to reach 15 Premier League goals and help the team secure another Premier League season. With a strong personal season and considering his age, it could simultaneously generate interest from other Premier League clubs in the summer.
