Highlights
Tottenham Hotspur have not initiated talks with Bournemouth for Dominic Solanke, according to Alex Crook.
Spurs continue to search for a new striker, with their goals shared last season after Harry Kane's departure.
Despite interest in multiple strikers, including Santiago Gimenez, the Solanke deal is on hold for now.
Tottenham Hotspur's supposed talks with Bournemouth over Dominic Solanke have taken another twist in the summer transfer market - with new reports suggesting that negotiations between the clubs are wide of the mark as Ange Postecoglou looks to sign a talisman.
Tottenham sold Harry Kane to Bayern Munich last summer in an £87million deal, leaving them short in their striking ranks last season; but with goals shared from across the pitch, it meant that the north London outfit finished fifth in the Premier League. A new man to replace Kane is imperative for them this window if they want to finish in the top four and guarantee a place in the Champions League - but it won't be Solanke for now, according to talkSPORT's Alex Crook.
Solanke Talks Are Wide of the Mark
The Cherries striker will remain on the south coast for now
The report from Crook states that, opposing the reports earlier on Wednesday, Tottenham have not opened talks to sign Solanke from Bournemouth just yet.
The talkSPORT journalist states that whilst the opportunity that Tottenham will do so remains open, the up to date information surrounding the snubbed England striker is that Postecoglou's men have not began negotiations with the Cherries over his potential signing and as a result, the search for a striker remains as it was at the start of the day.
Spurs have been linked with a multitude of strikers in the past few months, with the likes of Feyenoord's Santiago Gimenez and Sporting's Viktor Gyokeres being touted with a move to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, but a move for Solanke will now have to wait with Postecoglou having to hold on that little bit longer to secure a new front man.
