Bournemouth have been alerted to the possibility of a loan move for free-scoring New York Red Bulls striker Bradley Wright-Phillips.

The former Manchester City and Southampton marksman shot the Big Apple club into the MLS semi-finals last weekend with his 18th goal of the campaign.

Bournemouth are exploring every possibility to improve their striking options, with Callum Wilson ruled out for the season by a severe knee injury.

They have already approached QPR for the services of Charlie Austin and have run the rule over the clubless ex-Arsenal, Manchester City and Spurs frontman Emmanuel Adebayor.

Last season, Wright-Phillips, who joined the Red Bulls two years ago, hit 31 goals in 37 appearances.

The 30-year-old's talents have been recognised by Jamaica, who want him to join their qualification bid for the 2018 World Cup.

The MLS season ends in the first week of December, and it is understood Wright-Phillips could be open to a temporary return to English football.

He began his career at Man City before moves to Southampton, Plymouth, Charlton and Brentford on loan, ahead of his move to the USA.
