When I spoke to Bournemouth owner Bill Foley in Santa Barbara last month about striker Dominic Solanke he confirmed the striker had a release clause - and it was "roughly" £65m.
He also said that while he didn't think Solanke would leave, Bournemouth had "two or three candidates lined up" if the worst happened.
I wonder if Ivan Toney or Dominic Calvert-Lewin are on the list?
Number nines are in vogue at the moment. Toney and Calvert-Lewin are in that category. The same is true of Chelsea's Armando Broja, Tottenham's Richarlison and Romelu Lukaku, of Chelsea.
The problem is all of them are expensive - and not all of them score that many goals.
