Bournemouth striker Dominic Solanke is keen on joining Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham this summer.
The North London club’s search for a new number nine continues as we head into the final few weeks of the transfer window. While they did cope well without signing a Harry Kane replacement last summer, Tottenham have made it one of their priorities to sign a striker this time out.
Son Heung-min and Richarlison started up top last season and did a decent job following the departure of their record goal scorer. This time around the Australian manager wants a proven goal scorer to lead his line and Bournemouth’s Dominic Solanke is one of the names on their wishlist. According to Paul O Keefe via Last Word on Spurs, the former Liverpool striker is keen on joining the North London club.
Things might not have worked out for the English striker at the Merseyside club but the move to the Cherries allowed him to revive himself. He has done wonders in recent seasons and finds himself on the wishlist of top clubs. The 26-year-old scored 21 goals last season with 19 of those coming in the Premier League.
He still has three years left on his deal but Tottenham are interested in prising him away. While Bournemouth are holding out on his £65million release clause with 20% of the sale going to his former club Liverpool, Solanke is itching to join the North London club. He is eager to take the next step in his career and a move to Spurs will help him compete for major titles. While other clubs are interested, Tottenham has an advantage as the player is actively pushing for a move to the club.
