Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe has revealed he has been "really impressed" with striker Dominic Solanke since his move from Liverpool in January.
Howe believes the former Chelsea striker has a "bright future" for Cherries' fans to look forward to.
The 21-year-old striker joined the South Coast side in January from Liverpool for around £19m, but the English forward has struggled with injury problems.
But Solanke did make a huge impact in the side's 2-2 draw with Newcastle United before the international break - coming off the bench to set up Joshua King's goal late on.
Asked by the Bournemouth Echo how long it would take for the youngster to break into the Bournemouth starting line-up, Howe replied:
"From what I have seen from Dominic, I don't think it is going to take him long at all.
"On the evidence (against Newcastle), he is really going to be pushing for a place. I was really impressed with Dominic. He has trained really well.
"He had a couple of niggles since he signed so his training was a bit disrupted but that is the longest we have had him (available). It was not a surprise to see him come on and do so well because I have seen it in training. The future looks bright for him."
