Dominic Solanke has completed his move to Tottenham Hotspur in a £65million deal from Bournemouth.

The 26-year-old striker has signed a six-year contract with the north London club, putting pen to paper overnight on Friday after undergoing a medical.

The deal is a club-record transfer fee for Spurs and a record sale for Bournemouth.

The forward enjoyed his best-ever scoring campaign in the top flight last term scoring 19 times as Bournemouth finished 12th.

A product of the Chelsea academy, Solanke joined Liverpool on a free transfer in 2017 before moving on to Bournemouth in 2019.

Liverpool hold a 20 per cent sell-on clause from that deal.

Solanke has gone to make 216 appearances in all competitions for the south-coast club, scoring 77 goals.

Despite his fine season he missed out on selection for Gareth Southgate’s England squad for Euro 2024, with Ollie Watkins of Aston Villa and Brentford’s Ivan Toney preferred.

Tottenham haven’t signed a senior striker since Harry Kane left for Bayern Munich a year ago.

They begin their Premier League season away at Leicester City on Monday, August 19.
