Bournemouth boss Iraola shrugs off West Ham talk for Solanke

Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola has shrugged off transfer interest arriving for Dominic Solanke.

The striker is attracting interest from West Ham.

Iraola said: “No, I think it's very good.

“He received some recognition because I think he really deserves it. He is the best, the first one to work, the first one to try to help his teammates.

“And it's not like he has played last two or three games very well. No, I think he has been really constant in his performances and he really deserves all recognition.

“Obviously I think he's really happy here. He has shown it also, renewing his contract not so much time ago. So I think it's really nice for us."

He added: “The feeling I've had with him since day one I was here has been very, very good. He has a lot of different skills.

“He can adapt to different ways of playing and he's very complete to be a number nine.

“Probably we talk more about him when he scores the goals, but his performances have been more or less the same level from the first day of the season."
