England has a number of disappointing "supernovae" who have failed to deliver on their potential, and Dominic Solanke, winner of the FIFA U-20 World Cup Golden Ball, is certainly one of them. But the 24-year-old goalscorer was recently reborn in the second-tier Championship, and is there anything else that the former Blues academy product has to offer?
Dominique Sorank is Chelsea's youth training product, along with Tammy Abraham, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Nathaniel Charloba, Christensen and others, of which Dominique Sorank is the focus of the team's training, and has been highly known in the youth team. He and Tammy Abraham are both award-winning champions of the Blues youth team, and the two are high and fast, becoming the nightmare of countless youth team defenses. In the 2015–16 season, Dominic Sorank was loaned to Wetters in the Dutch Serie A and performed well, scoring seven goals in 26 games throughout the season.
Chelsea looked to lend him to a higher-level Championship side in the summer of 2016 to keep him growing, and his youth partner Tammy Abraham was also loaned to Championship City that season. However, Dominic Sorank believes that his ability has been able to gain a foothold in the Premier League, so he refused Chelsea's loan and renewal request, and transferred to another Premier League team Liverpool for £4 million in the following season.
However, in the Reds, Klopp did not intend to reuse him, and he only got 970 minutes of playing time in his liverpool season, except for playing in the Chicken Rib Cup, he only played in garbage time. In the summer of 2018, he moved to Bournemouth, who was still in the Premier League at the time, but his performance was unsatisfactory, playing 42 games in the Premier League in two seasons, only scoring a pitiful three goals, completely failing to show the physical and psychological qualities of playing in the Premier League, and even the need for relegation for Bournemouth.
After falling to the Championship, Dominic Sorank finally went back to the path the Blues wanted him to take in the summer of 16 years, and really absorbed the experience and growth in the Championship. In the championship season and a half, Dominic Sorank finally improved, from 15 goals and 11 assists in 40 games last season; to 19 goals and 3 assists in 29 games this season, his goals and participation in the game have improved greatly, and he is now the premier top scorer in the Championship.
In fact, if Dominic Sorank had not been too self-conscious and refused the Blues' request to lend him to the Championship, his career development might have been more satisfactory; like his good partner tammy Abraham. Tammy Abraham has been honed by the Championship to take the place in the Blues, and he is now playing for Roma, one of the Serie A powers, as one of the most comprehensive centre-forwards in Serie A. However, Dominic Solank is still only 24 years old, and he still has time to go as young as he regains his confidence and goalscoring touch, the former England hope is still promising.
