Following the news that Enes Unal is set for an extended spell out with an ACL injury, just a day after it was also confirmed that Evanilson has had surgery on a broken bone in his foot, we asked you who you would like to see come in up front.

Here are some of your comments:

Kev: Marcus Rashford would be the perfect fit for Andoni Iraola. Bournemouth would be the perfect place for him to come on loan for six months to regain his confidence and form, while acting as a temporary replacement for Evanilson. He also has the experience to get us into Europe!

Lewis: 100% need to get into the transfer market. It does not need to be a permanent deal but we need a strong forward. Rashford would be ideal given the style of football Iraola plays, but would imagine that is unlikely - although Kepa was an unlikely but awesome deal!

Barney: Maybe there is an opportunity to secure Rashford on loan for the remainder of the season until he finds a permanent new home? Particularly if Manchester United are showing interest in Milos Kerkez, there should be a window of communication between the two clubs.

Paul: Top priority now for two strikers. Evan Ferguson and Callum Wilson or Elijah Adebayo would be my picks.

Tom: We need to go into the loan market to try to get a striker, potentially with an option to buy. Daniel Jebbison will do as back-up. I'm sure we will also see Antoine Semenyo and Justin Kluivert step into the role.

Jake: Someone external with a proven track record needs to step in. While Semenyo can play there, he is excelling in his current position, and, heaven forbid, if he picks up an injury too, it could be a catastrophic blow. I believe we need experience in this situation - we cannot afford to gamble on youth. Their time and experience will come, but this is Bournemouth's time right now!
