Wolves want to sign Manor Solomon from Tottenham on a loan deal.

Ange Postecoglou wants to sell Solomon this summer, but accepts a temporary deal is more likely.

Wolves could lose Joao Gomes to Manchester United.

Wolverhampton Wanderers are eyeing a loan move for Tottenham's Manor Solomon this summer, but face competition from Brighton and Leicester for the winger, according to TBR Football.

Solomon endured a frustrating 2023/24 campaign, suffering a meniscus injury that kept him out for the majority of the season. Making just six appearances in all competitions and now deemed surplus to requirements in North London, Spurs are eager to sanction a move for the Israeli.

The likes of Brennan Johnson, Dejan Kulusevski and Timo Werner have all overtaken Solomon in the pecking order under Ange Postecoglou, while academy graduate Mikey Moore is breathing down the cohort of wingers' backs. Wolves are looking to acquire a replacement for the potentially departing Pedro Neto, and have identified Solomon as a possible option, with Spurs preferring to sell him permanently rather than agreeing a temporary deal.

Wolves Want to Sign Solomon

Solomon has looked 'rusty' in pre-season

Emerging through Israeli Premier League side Maccabi Petah Tikva's academy, Solomon earned his move to Europe, joining Shakhtar Donetsk in January 2019 in a deal worth an initial €6 million. The wide forward developed in Ukraine, making 106 appearances for the Donetsk outfit, catching the eyes of a number of clubs in the continent's top five leagues.

Garnering a reputation as a pacey winger with good dribbling ability, and described as "explosive" by Jamie Carragher, Solomon joined Fulham on loan and impressed in the 2022/23 season, which ultimately proved to be the catalyst for Tottenham to make their move last summer. However, after an initial encouraging start in North London, the 25-year-old suffered a significant injury that saw him ruled out from October until the end of last season.

According to TBR, the Israel international has returned to pre-season looking 'rusty', and Postecoglou has decided he's not part of his future plans. However, due to these fitness issues, the player's stock has fallen and attaining a fee for a permanent transfer appears unlikely.

Wolves have expressed an interest, with Gary O'Neil keen on adding quality to an attack that scored just 50 Premier League goals last season. Manchester City are reportedly 'set to hijack' Tottenham's move for Pedro Neto, with Solomon lined up as a potential successor to the Portuguese winger.

Neto, like Solomon, struggled with injury last season, but still managed to contribute to eleven goals last campaign for the West Midlanders. It's believed that O'Neil sees Solomon as possessing similar attributes to his current star wide man, and is keen on accelerating a deal with Spurs before the new season kicks off.

Wolves Could Lose Gomes

Manchester United 'Appreciate' the player

O'Neil could be facing an exodus of star players this summer. Max Kilman has already departed Molineux for West Ham, while Neto is attracting plent of suitors, and Manchester United reportedly 'appreciate' midfielder Joao Gomes.

United have ended their pursuit of Paris Saint-Germain's Manuel Ugarte, and could turn to Gomes as an alternative. Wolves value the Brazilian at £51.63 million, and could be willing to negotiate with the Red Devils if they're willing to make an offer in this region. The 23-year-old thrived for Gary O'Neil's side last season, making 38 appearances, scoring twice and registering one assist in all competitions.

Highlights

Tottenham Hotspur remain interested in Ivan Toney despite also having Bournemouth frontman Dominic Solanke on their list of potential recruits.

Brentford are open to sanctioning the England international's departure after entering the final stages of his contract.

Emerson Royal's move to AC Milan is in doubt as the Serie A giants are looking to strengthen other positions.

Tottenham Hotspur have been handed a significant boost in their attempts to bring in a Premier League-proven striker as Brentford are willing to entertain the possibility of selling Ivan Toney for less than £50million after attracting interest from Hotspur Way, GIVEMESPORT sources have revealed.

Although Spurs have attempted to ensure they will not be left short of attacking options by negotiating a fresh loan deal for Timo Werner, which includes an option to complete an £8.5million permanent switch from RB Leipzig, boss Ange Postecoglou has remained in the market for further reinforcements.

Archie Gray has been the most expensive addition to Tottenham's squad since the transfer window reopened, thanks to sealing a move worth up to £30million from Leeds United, but technical director Johan Lange and chairman Daniel Levy are continuing to lead the north Londoners' recruitment drive.

Toney Remains Among Postecoglou's Targets

Brentford eager to avoid possibility of frontman becoming free agent

Toney has remained on Tottenham's radar despite also chasing Bournemouth frontman Dominic Solanke, according to GMS sources, and he could be available for less than £50million as Brentford are desperate to avoid the possibility of their talisman leaving as a free agent at the end of the upcoming campaign.

The England international has entered the final 12 months of his £20,000-per-week contract at the Gtech Community Stadium and, having failed to tempt him into agreeing fresh terms, the Bees are fearful of missing out on a lucrative fee if he is allowed to run down the remainder of his deal.

GMS sources have been informed that Postecoglou is eager to secure a centre forward with Premier League experience, resulting in Toney and Solanke being firmly in his sights as they have become established goalscorers in the top flight thanks to successful spells with Brentford and Bournemouth respectively.

Saudi Pro League outfit Al-Ahli have been mulling over whether to make a £60million bid for Richarlison, but the former Everton man has insisted that he will not be heading to the Middle East for a fresh challenge, meaning funds will need to be accrued from elsewhere if Spurs have to sanction a departure before upping the ante.

Toney would be a cheaper option than Solanke as Tottenham may be forced to trigger his £65million release clause due to Bournemouth being eager to hold onto their talisman, GMS sources have been told, and a bid has not been lodged despite Postecoglou wanting a new marksman to allow Heung-min Son to return to his favoured wide position.

GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Ivan Toney is still searching for his first win against Tottenham Hotspur after five attempts, but he has found the back of the net twice when taking on the north Londoners

AC Milan Not Viewing Royal as Priority Target

Serie A giants focusing on bolstering squad in alternative positions

Contrary to reports from other outlets, GMS sources have learned that Emerson Royal is not being viewed as a priority target by AC Milan as the Serie A heavyweights are eager to improve their midfield and attack before potentially turning their attentions towards securing defensive reinforcements.

Although Spurs beat north London rivals Arsenal to the right-back's signature when they agreed a £25.73million fee with Barcelona in the closing stages of the summer transfer window three years ago, he has fallen behind Pedro Porro in the pecking order as the new season edges closer.

AC Milan have made a major U-turn as transfer expert Fabrizio Romano recently told GMS that the San Siro-based giants were close to reaching an agreement worth £13million plus add-ons for Royal, and the Brazilian is now in danger of remaining at Tottenham despite having limited game time on offer.

Highlights

Tottenham are interested in signing Reims' Amir Richardson.

Everton, Brentford and Leicester are also said to be keen on the midfielder.

Spurs are prioritising a striker, and are thus looking for a cheaper midfield acquisition.

Tottenham are interested in signing Reims' Amir Richardson, but face stiff competition from the likes of Everton, Brentford and Leicester City for the midfielder's signature, according to HITC Sport.

Richardson enjoyed his breakout campaign last season for the French side, making 28 appearances in Ligue 1, as the Red and Whites finished comfortably in mid-table. This form has prompted interest from several different Premier League clubs, with Spurs reportedly leading the race as they look to replace the departed Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.

The north London club are prioritising the signing of a striker this summer, with Dominic Solanke heavily linked with a move to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, but Ange Postecoglou is also eager to bolster his midfield department. The Aussie has identified Richardson as a potential acquisition, with the player understood to be available for just £8.5 million.

Spurs Eyeing Richardson

The midfielder is keen on leaving Reims

Developing through the academy at OG Nice, Richardson completed a move to Le Havre in 2019, where he made his breakthrough into senior football. Earning a move to top flight side Reims in 2022, the Moroccan attracted attention last season in France, thriving in Will Still's team.

Described by football analyst Ben Mattinson as having a 'freak athletic, technical profile', the 22-year-old has caught the eye for his physically unique and imposing frame at 6'6. HITC suggest that Spurs, Everton, Brentford, Leicester and a number of different European clubs are monitoring the son of American Basketball great Micheal Richardson's situation.

Reims are understood to be willing to sanction a move for their in-demand man, with a modest £8.5 million price tag quoted. Richardson is said to be keen on making the step-up, although negotiations won't commence until after his exploits with the Moroccan Olympics team come to an end.

Hojbjerg left Spurs for Marseille earlier this summer, leaving a vacancy in Postecoglou's midfield cohort. Richardson has been pinpointed as a potential option, with Spurs viewing him as someone who can provide cover and competition for the likes of Yves Bissouma, Pape Sarr and Rodrigo Bentancur.

Spurs' primary concern is said to be acquiring a striker, and are reportedly keen on picking up a midfielder at a cut-price, so they can allocate a larger portion of their budget to the pursuit of a forward. Thus, the competition for Richardson from rival Premier League clubs could drive the price up, and subsequently leave Spurs turning to alternatives.

Toney Also Being Chased

Postecoglou wants marquee forward signing

While Solanke is the priority, reports have emerged suggesting Ivan Toney could either be an additional signing or an alternative to the Bournemouth man. With the Cherries 'reluctant' to allow their talisman to leave for anything less than £60million, Toney could be targeted, with Brenfford reportedly willing to let him go in a cut-price deal.

The England international struggled when returning from his betting scandal last season, netting four times in 17 Premier League appearances for the Bees. Given he has one year remaining on his deal in west London, and has expressed his desire to make a move away on several occasions, a deal with Spurs could materialise quickly if the Lillywhites initiate contact.

Highlights

Oliver Skipp expected to leave Spurs for more playing time amid interest from Southampton.

Leicester City and Ipswich are also interested in the midfielder.

Tottenham pursuing deal with Bournemouth's Dominic Solanke.

Oliver Skipp is expected to leave Tottenham before the end of the transfer window after attracting interest from Southampton, Ipswich Town and Leicester City, according to Matt Law.

The central midfielder signed a new deal in north London two years ago that tied him down until 2027, but he has failed to impress manager Ange Postecoglou and has now been made surplus to requirements ahead of the new season.

All three promoted Premier League clubs are interested in signing the former Norwich loanee to bolster their midfield options, with his top-flight experience considered as something that would help their charge for survival.

Oliver Skipp Allowed to Leave Spurs

Skipp, who has been described as "outstanding" by Ange Postecoglou, is now expected to leave north London before the transfer window closes as he goes in search of more regular first-team football.

Having joined the club when he was eight years old, Skipp became a fan favourite after breaking into the team but has fallen way down the pecking order in recent seasons after the arrivals of Yves Bissouma, Rodrigo Bentancur, Pape Sarr and now Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall.

Leicester could be the side ready to make the biggest push for Skipp, having lost talisman Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall to Chelsea earlier in the window. A move for Skipp could see him reunited with former Spurs star Harry Winks, who has become a regular at the King Power Stadium since his move.

Southampton have already added to their central midfield options by re-signing Flynn Downes on a permanent deal from West Ham, while Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna will know the midfielder well as they spent time together at Tottenham.

GIVEMESPORT key statistic: Oliver Skipp completed 91.6% of his passes in the Premier League in 2023/24.

Tottenham get Green Light from Dominic Solanke

Spurs in talks for £65m Bournemouth star

While Skipp looks set to leave north London this summer, the Lilywhites are looking to add to their attacking options by signing Bournemouth star Dominic Solanke before the transfer window closes.

The clubs are in talks over a deal worth around £65million, with the Cherries said to be holding out for his full release clause before allowing him to leave. However, Spurs are trying to lower that fee before committing to a deal as Postecoglou looks to bolster his forward options. But Solanke has given his green light to a move as he looks to test himself at the highest level once again following previous spells with Chelsea and Liverpool.

The club also retain an interest in Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze, Wolves winger Pedro Neto and Brentford striker Ivan Toney, but a deal for Solanke is currently seen as a priority.

Tottenham are increasingly confident of signing Bournemouth striker Dominic Solanke.

Spurs would break their transfer record if they met Solanke’s £65million release clause.

Richarlison's potential Saudi Arabia exit could 'partly fund' Solanke's arrival.

Tottenham Hotspur are increasingly confident of signing Bournemouth forward Dominic Solanke and ending their search for a striker, according to The Times journalist Gary Jacob.

The 26-year-old has given the green light to a move to North London after enjoying his most prolific scoring season with the Cherries, netting 19 goals in the Premier League.

Spurs would break their transfer record if they met Solanke’s £65million release clause – the English striker’s move would eclipse Tanguy Ndombele’s signing for £63million in 2019.

Tottenham, who begin their campaign away to Leicester City on 19 August, have had a quiet transfer window so far, with midfielder Archie Gray still the only standout signing for Ange Postecoglou.

Speaking to GMS, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano revealed that the North London outfit could still sign up to two attackers, including Solanke, who appears to be top of the list of targets at the moment and has been described as the "complete No.9" by Andoni Iraola.

Romano suggested Tottenham are expected to be busy until the transfer window shuts on 30 August, despite a slow start to their summer business.

Richarlison Linked with Spurs Exit

Could ‘fund’ Solanke’s arrival

Writing for The Times, Jacob explained that a club-record move for Solanke could be ‘partly funded’ by Richarlison’s potential exit.

The Brazilian forward is reportedly wanted by Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli, but would still need to be persuaded to move to the Middle East.

Richarlison enjoyed a solid campaign for Spurs last season, scoring 11 goals and adding four assists in 28 Premier League appearances, before suffering a knee injury in March.

The 27-year-old has been the subject of transfer speculation all summer, despite denying rumours of a move to Saudi Arabia in May, branding the reports ‘fake news’ on his Instagram story.

According to Sky Sports journalist Michael Bridge, if Tottenham were to sell Richarlison, they would expect to recoup a similar fee to what they paid Everton for the South American back in 2022, amounting to £60 million.

While Solanke may not be as versatile as the Brazilian forward, the Bournemouth star could bring an even more significant goal threat to North London – something Spurs missed last season after Harry Kane’s departure to Bayern Munich.

Tottenham ‘Plot Move’ for Ivan Toney

A cheaper option for Ange Postecoglou

Tottenham are plotting a summer move for Brentford striker Ivan Toney, who is believed to be a cheaper option than Bournemouth’s Dominic Solanke, according to TEAMtalk.

The 28-year-old has less than 12 months remaining on his current deal with the Bees and is reportedly available for a cut-price deal this summer, with Brentford open to selling their star striker.

According to TEAMtalk, Tottenham could lodge bids for both players in the coming weeks, while Toney still has the ‘desire’ to sign for a bigger club this summer, despite interest from top clubs cooling off in recent weeks.

Spurs could welcome two new forward signings before the window shuts.

Emerson Royal is nearing a move to AC Milan after three seasons in north London.

Tottenham Hotspur have explored the possibility of making a move for Bournemouth striker Dominic Solanke, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has exclusively revealed to GIVEMESPORT.

The north London outfit have initiated talks with Bournemouth over a deal for the England forward, who hit 19 Premier League goals last season, as they seem to be in the market for a Premier League-proven goalscorer.

Spurs have had a quiet transfer window so far, with four arrivals in N17, including Leeds United starlet Archie Gray, who joined on a six-year deal last month plus Lucas Bergvall and South Korean youngster Min-hyeok Yang joining permanently while Timo Werner has returned for another season-long loan.

After opting not to replace their talisman striker Harry Kane last summer, Tottenham heavily relied on Son Heung-Min and Richarlison’s input up front during Ange Postecoglou’s debut campaign.

The duo’s efforts disappointingly fell short of Champions League spots, as Spurs finished fifth, just two points below Aston Villa in fourth.

Spurs are now hoping to avoid a repeat of last season’s goalscoring woes – the north Londoners netted the fewest among the top seven teams in the previous campaign.

Spurs ‘Will be Busy’ in Forward Market

Could sign two new players

Romano, speaking to GMS, suggested Tottenham are expecting a busy end to their summer transfer window, with potentially an extra signing expected in attack alongside Solanke:

“I think the main focus is going to be up front. They need one more offensive player, at least one. Could be two, based on opportunities. But for sure, Tottenham will be busy there.

“For example, one of the players they like is Dominic Solanke. It’s something that I said in the past few days because I’m told that Tottenham really explored the possibility of making a move for Dominic Solanke.”

Solanke, who was praised as 'incredible' by Scott Parker, had his most prolific scoring season with Bournemouth so far, leading the Cherries to a 12th-place finish.

The English striker’s expensive £65million release clause has so far put off potential suitors, but he remains high on Ange Postecoglou’s wishlist this summer. The 26-year-old was unlucky to miss out on a spot in Gareth Southgate’s Euro 2024 squad this summer, despite impressing in the Premier League.

Solanke’s move to Tottenham would also be good news for Liverpool, who included a sell-on clause in the deal with Bournemouth in 2019, amounting to 20 percent% of any sale.

If Spurs were to activate Solanke’s release clause of £65million, Liverpool would be on course to pocket £9million from the deal, after selling the 26-year-old five seasons ago for £19million.

Emerson Nearing AC Milan Move

Ready to undergo a medical at San Siro

Tottenham and AC Milan are close to agreeing a deal worth around £13million plus add-ons for defender Emerson Royal, Fabrizio Romano has told GIVEMESPORT.

The Brazilian right-back has already agreed personal terms with Milan and is now waiting for the green light to undergo a medical, according to Romano.

Emerson endured a difficult 2023/24 campaign in North London, starting just 11 Premier League games and struggling to compete for playing time with Pedro Porro.

The 25-year-old could soon be replaced by Man City loanee Issa Kabore, who is among the options for Ange Postecoglou to cover at right-back, according to Romano.

Tottenham Hotspur are plotting a summer move for Brentford forward Ivan Toney as they look to solve their goalscoring woes ahead of Ange Postecoglou’s second season in charge, according to TEAMtalk.

Spurs are reportedly intent on adding a Premier League-proven striker to their ranks before the window shuts on 30 August and have set their sights on Toney and Bournemouth’s Dominic Solanke.

After opting against replacing their record goalscorer Harry Kane last summer, Spurs are now expected to step up their chase for a new starting striker.

Although Postecoglou adapted his style of play to utilise the likes of Son Heung-min, Richarlison and Timo Werner last season, the trio’s efforts fell short of Champions League qualification as Spurs finished fifth in the table.

With rumours over Richarlison’s potential departure picking up pace in recent days, Tottenham are soon expected to address their forward situation, despite a quiet transfer window so far.

The North London outfit are yet to see any major incomings after acquiring Leeds United’s promising starlet Archie Gray on a long-term deal earlier this summer.

Spurs ‘Chase’ Ivan Toney Deal

Available for a cut-price deal

According to TEAMtalk, Spurs are chasing both Brentford striker Ivan Toney and Bournemouth’s Dominic Solanke in their striker search before the new season.

Toney’s acquisition is expected to be less costly – the 28-year-old has less than 12 months remaining on his current deal with the Bees.

The England international, who Thomas Frank believes is 'world-class', has now returned to Brentford for pre-season after a prolonged break following Euro 2024, but still has the ‘desire’ to sign for a bigger club this summer.

Toney, who returned from an eight-month ban for breaching FA betting rules, made just 17 league appearances for the Bees in the previous campaign, scoring four goals and adding two assists.

Solanke, meanwhile, had his most prolific scoring season with Bournemouth so far, netting 19 goals in the Premier League, leading the Cherries to a 12th-place finish.

According to TEAMtalk, Bournemouth would be reluctant to sell their star striker so late in the transfer window, while Tottenham could lodge bids for the duo in the coming weeks.

Tottenham ‘Considering’ Issa Kabore

Impressed at Luton last season

Tottenham are considering signing Manchester City right-back Issa Kabore, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has exclusively told GIVEMESPORT.

Keen to bring in a new right-sided defender before the window shuts, Spurs have several options on their shortlist, including Kabore, who spent last season on loan at Luton Town.

The Burkina Faso international made 24 appearances in the Premier League last season and completed a third loan spell whilst at Man City, following short-term moves to Troyes and Marseille.

According to Romano, Tottenham are full of admiration for Kabore, as he is being considered among backup options for their star right-back Pedro Porro.

Tottenham Hotspur are at risk of Cristian Romero being the subject of a lucrative bid as Real Madrid want to sign the centre-back at the end of the upcoming season.

The La Liga heavyweights have decided to plan a move for the Argentina international despite initially being put off by Spurs' lucrative demands.

Real Madrid are poised to enter negotiations over a deal for Romero next summer after aiming to make a big-name addition to their backline.

Tottenham Hotspur are in serious danger of being dragged into a battle to keep Cristian Romero beyond the end of the upcoming campaign as reigning La Liga champions Real Madrid have set their sights on attempting to lure the central defender away from Hotspur Way in 2025, GIVEMESPORT sources have revealed.

Spurs have been active in the transfer market, with Archie Gray being the most expensive addition to Ange Postecoglou's squad thanks to completing a move worth up to £30million in the aftermath of being unable to help boyhood club Leeds United secure promotion to the Premier League at the first time of asking.

Timo Werner has also sealed a quickfire return as a fresh loan deal which includes an £8.5million purchase option was negotiated with RB Leipzig, while Lucas Bergvall has joined from Djurgardens, but chairman Daniel Levy may have to fight to keep key man Romero on board in less than 12 months' time.

Real Madrid Have Devised Long-Term Plan to Make Move for Romero

Argentina international on course to be subject of bid in 2025

Real Madrid are planning to make a fresh attempt to land Romero next year, according to GMS sources, resulting in Tottenham potentially facing an uphill battle to ensure their vice-captain's head is not turned by the prospect of potentially embarking on a fresh challenge at the Bernabeu.

The Spanish heavyweights have not been afraid to raid Spurs for their leading performers in the past, having signed Gareth Bale for a then-world record £85.3million from the north Londoners in 2013 and Luka Modric 12 months earlier, and they are circling for another big-money deal.

Although GMS sources have been informed that Real Madrid were put off upping the ante for Romero when a £150million price tag was slapped on him after enquiries were made, they are on course to test Tottenham's resolve with a formal proposal at the end of the fast-approaching campaign as they seek fresh competition for the likes of Antonio Rudiger.

The World Cup-winning Argentina international made 34 appearances during Postecoglou's first season at the Lilywhites' helm, contributing five goals along the way, and the capital club have set lofty financial demands due to being desperate to keep him on their books as the transfer deadline looms.

Tottenham are in a strong negotiating position thanks to Romero still having three years remaining on his £165,000-per-week contract, meaning they are under no pressure to cash in, but Real Madrid are aware that their stance may change as he edges closer to the end of his agreement.

GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Cristian Romero has featured in a Tottenham Hotspur shirt on 98 occasions, but he has been sent off four times along the way

Romero Set to Remain on Ancelotti's Shortlist

La Liga giants remain interested despite Spurs' lucrative demands

GMS sources have been told by those close to the situation that Real Madrid's interest in Romero has not ended despite Tottenham's lucrative valuation, and Los Blancos will keep the 26-year-old on their shortlist for next summer as they are expecting to be in need of a significant centre-back signing ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.

The South American, who initially joined Spurs on loan before completing a permanent switch worth £42.5million from Serie A side Atalanta in August 2022, is firmly on head coach Carlo Ancelotti's radar and plans have been devised to enter negotiations over a deal after another season in north London.

Romero was recently ranked as the 10th greatest defender in Tottenham's history by GMS, highlighting that Postecoglou and Levy will be eager to fight to ensure he remains in his current surroundings when Real Madrid come calling for his services and up the ante with a formal proposal.

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.

Tottenham Hotspur are pushing to secure a deal to sign Bournemouth striker Dominic Solanke, according to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano.

Ange Postecoglou's side appear to be in the market for a natural centre-forward during the summer transfer window. Spurs haven't replaced Harry Kane with an out-and-out striker, with the likes of Richarlison, Timo Werner, and Heung-min Son utilised in a central role for the north London club.

Solanke is a proven Premier League goalscoring option, but the Cherries won't be desperate to see him depart.

Tottenham Pushing to Sign Dominic Solanke

He has a £65m release clause

According to Romano, Tottenham are now pushing to finalise a deal to bring Solanke to north London. The English striker has a £65m release clause, but Spurs are hoping to negotiate a lower fee, with talks ongoing...

"Understand Tottenham are pushing to get Dominic Solanke deal done, talks underway with Bournemouth. Solanke has given the green light to Spurs as negotiations are ongoing to discuss under value of £65m clause. Tottenham want Solanke, as exclusively revealed last week."

Solanke, described as 'outstanding' by Paul Merson, would offer Ange Postecoglou a proven Premier League goalscorer in attack. At the age of 26, the former Liverpool man is a player in his prime and has just come off the back of an impressive season in England's top flight with Bournemouth.

Sources recently told GIVEMESPORT that Tottenham value Solanke at under £50m, and it's a move being pushed by Australian manager Postecoglou. The former Celtic boss wants a Premier League-proven striker, but it will be interesting to see whether the Cherries are willing to negotiate under the release clause value.

GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Dominic Solanke has scored one goal and registered two assists over the course of five appearances against Tottenham Hotspur, but he has only been on the winning side once.

Tottenham Eyeing Man City Right-Back Issa Kabore

He spent last season on loan at Luton Town

Italian reporter Romano, in a conversation with GIVEMESPORT, has revealed that Tottenham are considering a move to sign Manchester City right-back Issa Kabore. The 23-year-old impressed on loan with Luton Town last season, but he couldn't prevent the capital club being relegated from the Premier League.

Emerson Royal is potentially heading through the exit door, so Postecoglou will need to add cover for Pedro Porro to his squad. Kabore could struggle to break into the Man City side considering the wealth of talent Pep Guardiola has at his disposal.
