Tottenham have set their sights on signing a new striker this summer.
According to The Mirror, Bournemouth’s Dominik Solanke has emerged as a top target for Spurs.
The 26-year-old forward, currently under contract until 2027, has a release clause of £65 million.
The Mirror indicates that while Tottenham are interested in bringing Solanke to North London, they are reluctant to meet the hefty release clause outright.
Instead, Spurs are exploring the possibility of a player-plus-cash deal. This strategy involves 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 netted 21 goals in 41 appearances across all competitions, made him the fourth joint-top scorer in the Premier League. It took his overall Premier League tally to 29 goals and 13 assists in 134 games.
His prolific scoring has understandably caught the attention of Tottenham’s management, who see him as a valuable addition to their attacking options.
While Spurs’ interest in Solanke is evident, the outcome of this potential transfer remains uncertain.
Bournemouth must consider the advantages of acquiring additional players and cash against the significant impact of losing their leading striker.
Given Solanke’s high value and importance to Bournemouth, the negotiations are expected to be intricate and challenging.
As the transfer window continues, Tottenham fans will be closely monitoring the situation, hoping the club can finalise a deal for Solanke.
His potential arrival could significantly enhance the club’s offensive capabilities and support their goals for the upcoming season.
