Tottenham agree £65 million deal to sign Dominic Solanke

Tottenham Hotspur have agreed a deal with Bournemouth to sign striker Dominic Solanke for £65 million, according to the Daily Mail.

The 26-year-old England forward enjoyed a prolific season with the Cherries, netting 19 Premier League goals, and his performances caught the eye of Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou.

Solanke was identified as Postecoglou’s primary target this summer and he is desperate to move to London.

Bournemouth have Solanke tied down on a deal that runs until 2029, but Tottenham have triggered the £65m release clause in his contract.

Tottenham haven’t bolstered their striking options since Harry Kane’s blockbuster move to Bayern Munich last year.

Postecoglou has been vocal about acquiring a number nine who complements his playing style, and Solanke’s profile perfectly fits the bill.

“The type of striker we get is crucial,” Postecoglou stated during Tottenham’s pre-season tour in Japan (via The Athletic).

“Our style demands specific qualities, both physically and technically. We need someone who fits that mould.”


“Striker is arguably the area where our squad is thinnest. So naturally, it’s a major focus for us.”
