Tottenham Hotspur’s pursuit of Bournemouth striker Dominic Solanke has reportedly left the Cherries frustrated, particularly due to the timing of their bid.
As reported by The Mirror, Bournemouth are upset that Spurs made their move so late in the transfer window, with the Premier League season just around the corner.
This timing puts Bournemouth in a tough spot, as they now have limited time to find a replacement for Solanke if he were to depart.
Solanke, who is under contract with Bournemouth until 2027, has a release clause set at £65 million.
Tottenham are on the verge of signing the striker for a fee close to £60m
The 26-year-old striker enjoyed an outstanding campaign last season, finishing as the fourth joint-top scorer in the Premier League with 19 goals and three assists in 38 matches.
With over 200 appearances combined in the Premier League and Championship, Solanke offers considerable experience, making him an attractive option for Spurs as they look to enhance their attacking options.
Bournemouth’s frustration is understandable, given that Tottenham’s late bid leaves them with little time to respond adequately.
However, the Lilywhites are determined to finalise the deal, hoping Solanke can carry over his excellent form into the new season and provide a significant boost to their squad.
The final days of the transfer window promise to be tense as both clubs seek to navigate this challenging situation.
