Tottenham have agreed a club-record deal worth £65million to sign striker Dominic Solanke from Bournemouth, talkSPORT understands.
It's understood that Spurs will pay £55million up front, with the fee rising to £65million with add-ons.
The 26-year-old will travel to north London to undergo a medical after having already agreed personal terms.
Solanke has been rewarded for his best top-flight return last season, netting 19 times in the league for the Cherries
Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou has pinpointed Solanke as the long-term successor to Harry Kane following the England skipper’s exit last summer and believes the Bournemouth star fits his style of play.
He did, however, state that it's impossible to directly replace Kane, saying: "I don't think we've been looking to replace Harry. I think I said a number of times last year you can't replace a generational player and there's a reason they stand apart.
"It's fair to say front third is an area we really believe we need to reinforce this year. We've been working hard to try and get the right kind of players into those areas we need for another challenging season ahead.
"We're back in Europe, which means more games, and the one thing coming out of last year when we had disruptions in terms of injuries or suspensions there was a real drop off and we want to sort of try and mitigate that this year by having a stronger squad to cope with everything we do."
The ex-Chelsea and Liverpool star was tied to the south coast club until 2029, but his contract contained a £65million release clause that could be triggered by certain clubs.
Solanke came through the ranks at Stamford Bridge before making the switch to Liverpool in 2017 on a free transfer.
A frustrating two-year spell at Anfield came to an end when he joined Bournemouth for an undisclosed fee in 2019, however the Reds hold a 20 percent sell-on clause for the striker.
That will see Liverpool net a tidy £9m fee due to Spurs meeting Solanke’s release clause.
He missed out on England's Euro 2024 squad but is hopeful the switch will help force his way back into contention.
Solanke will become Tottenham’s third signing of the season after the arrivals of Leeds’ Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall from Djurgarden.
Spurs had previously held an interest in Brentford’s wantaway striker Ivan Toney as reported by talkSPORT on Thursday.
Postecoglou appears better equipped to launch Tottenham’s Premier League campaign following a testing start to life at the club 12-months ago.
The Australian was inundated with speculation over Kane’s future after arriving at the club, only to see the striker complete his move to Bayern Munich on the eve of the Premier League season.
Spurs were forced to share the goal scoring responsibility in a bid to fill the void left by the club’s all-time record scorer.
Although Spurs were able to secure Europa League qualification in Kane’s absence, Solanke’s arrival will boost the club’s hopes of returning to the Champions League.
