Tottenham Hotspur Eyeing Dominic Solanke as Striker Solution
Tottenham Hotspur are pushing to sign Dominic Solanke from Bournemouth, with the striker’s £65million release clause being the main obstacle. Solanke, 26, bagged 21 goals in all competitions last season, more than Heung-Min Son or Richarlison, making him a prime target for Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou.
The striker’s impressive goal tally has caught the attention of Postecoglou, who is keen to strengthen his attacking options. However, Solanke’s release clause has so far deterred potential suitors, with Spurs willing to dig deep into their pockets to secure the talented forward.

A potential deal for Solanke could see Richarlison leave the club, with a number of suitors circling for the Brazilian, including sides in Saudi Arabia. Spurs have had a relatively quiet transfer window so far, with the £35m signing of Leeds’ Archie Gray their only major signing of the summer.
On the pitch, Tottenham have had a busy pre-season, which has seen a packed tour to South Korea and Japan. Postecoglou’s men were edged 2-1 by Bayern Munich on Saturday but have the chance to redeem themselves with a rematch this weekend.

Meanwhile, centre-back Joe Rodon has gone the other way, with the Welsh defender heading to Elland Road for around £10m. Last week, it was revealed that Tottenham defender Sergio Reguilon is prioritising a move to a club playing in Europe next season as he enters the final 12 months of his contract.

Reguilon wants to play European football next season and is waiting for an opportunity at a club that can provide him with that platform. The 27-year-old can leave Tottenham having fallen out of favour under Ange Postecoglou.
