Bournemouth striker Solanke not obsessing over zero goals record

Bournemouth striker Dominic Solanke insists he's not obsessing over his lack of goals.

Solanke is still yet to find the net since his £17.5million arrival from Liverpool in January, a run of 23 matches in all competitions.

He told the Daily Echo: “I have been playing a bit of a different role.

“I've got to do what I have to do for the team. I'm happy at the moment.

“I just want to keep on trying to help the team and in times like at Newcastle, when I can come on impact the game, I'll be looking to do that as well. It is (different). Throughout my career I've always played as a number nine and scored some goals, so I think a lot of people just look at that.

“But you've got to look at the other side as well. You've got to do what you've got to do for the team.

“The team and the manager is always helping me. I'm always looking back after the game and working in training as well to try and get the best out of that."
