Chelsea striker Solanke on Arsenal's radar

Arsenal are considering hijacking Liverpool's move for Chelsea striker Dominic Solanke.

That is according to Football.London, who say the Gunners are monitoring Solanke's situation.

The 19-year-old is yet to pen fresh terms at Stamford Bridge and has been linked with a switch to Merseyside.

His contract runs out at the end of the season, and Solanke reportedly wants a pay hike from his current £7,000-a-week wages to around £50,000-a-week.

Any potential move to the Emirates would not be dependent on the future of manager Arsene Wenger.
