Tottenham Hotspur are strongly linked with Bournemouth striker Dominic Solanke, with a potential move picking up pace in recent days.
The former Liverpool striker has been identified as an ideal signing for Spurs, who are keen to bolster their attack with an out-and-out striker this summer.
The Lilywhites have already initiated talks with Solanke and his representatives, expressing their strong interest in the striker.
Despite Solanke’s £65 million release clause, Tottenham plan to propose an alternative deal to bypass this hefty fee.
Tottenham are preparing a player-plus-cash deal
According to the latest report from TEAMtalk, Spurs are keen on signing the former England international and are preparing a substantial cash-plus-player offer to facilitate the transfer.
The proposed deal includes £50 million in cash, complemented by the inclusion of a player, to tempt Bournemouth into agreeing to the move.
Among the players potentially included in this deal are those not part of Ange Postecoglou’s plans: Giovani Lo Celso, Sergio Reguilon, Oliver Skipp, Djed Spence, and Alejo Veliz.
These players could provide Bournemouth with valuable reinforcements, while also reducing Tottenham’s cash expenditure on Solanke.
Solanke’s impressive goalscoring record
Solanke, who is under contract with Bournemouth until the summer of 2027, had an outstanding campaign last season.
He was the fourth joint-top scorer in the Premier League, netting 19 goals and providing 3 assists in 38 league appearances, taking his overall Premier League tally to 29 goals and 13 assists.
His goal-scoring ability and English top-flight experience has caught the attention of Spurs, who see him as a valuable addition to their squad.
The potential signing of Solanke would significantly boost Tottenham’s attack, offering them a proven and reliable goalscorer.
Is this seriously the best striker option we can get? So much speculation on potential players, and we end up hovering over Solanke whose had one above average premiership season, yet still not exactly setting the world alight! This is Spurs for you under Levy’s barren penny pinching reign. Just when will that penny actually drop?
He’s better than anyone you’ve got though 🤷
Agreed sideways move for Solanke 🤷♂️
Leave him where he is, not worth the £50 million never mind £65 million.if Spurs are after quality strikers, it will cost more than solanke, are we prepared to pay for that quality?
Yep leave him with us, we won’t complain! 👍🏻
Hope he stays where he is. Tottenham dream
of winning the Prem etc but never deliver and won’t as long as Levy is there. He is guaranteed game time at Bournemouth and can continue Foleys five year goal and see European football in the future.
“Levy’s barren penny pinching reign.” you are obviously ignorant of the facts. perhaps you should do some honest research for yourself & stop regurgitating other people’s nonsense agenda.
as far as Solanke is concerned you all show yourselves to be uniformed fans, not any sort of true supporters.
1. how many signings did Ange get wrong last season?
2. do yourselves a favor & look at the total package & bigger picture concerning Solanke.
Solanke is THE best pressing 9 in the prem! -fact
he puts himself in front of goal in the correct positions at the correct times… as a quality striker should.
he played every prem game last season, he is literally the opposite of injury prone. -fact
he is english & homegrown. -fact
he is 26 & coming into his prime off the best most consistent season of his career. -fact
how does any of this seem like a bad decision to you?
he has pace, technical ability, great hold up play & he looks to play a pass when it’s the best option & he can pick a pass.
all of you are clueless yet act like you are the one true voice on all things good or bad. which of you can say you know better than Ange?
God complex much?
