Tottenham are targeting a new striker this summer, with Bournemouth’s Dominic Solanke emerging as a top candidate, according to The Mirror. Solanke, 26, is under contract until 2027 and has a release clause of £65 million.
While Spurs are keen on bringing Solanke to North London, they are hesitant to pay the full release clause. Instead, they are considering a player-plus-cash deal, offering some of their current players to Bournemouth along with a cash payment to facilitate the transfer.
Solanke’s impressive performance last season, where he scored 21 goals in 41 appearances, made him the fourth joint-top scorer in the Premier League. His overall Premier League record stands at 29 goals and 13 assists in 134 games, making him an attractive prospect for Tottenham’s management.
Despite Tottenham’s clear interest, the transfer’s outcome is uncertain. Bournemouth must weigh the benefits of acquiring additional players and cash against the significant impact of losing their leading striker. Given Solanke’s value and importance to Bournemouth, negotiations are expected to be complex.
As the transfer window progresses, Tottenham fans will be closely watching the developments, hoping the club can secure Solanke’s signature. His potential arrival could significantly boost Tottenham’s offensive capabilities for the upcoming season.
