Tottenham Hotspur are keen on signing Dominic Solanke from Bournemouth and they are prepared to offer the Premier League club favourable payment terms in order to get the deal done.
The striker has a £65 million release clause in his contract, but Tottenham are unlikely to be able to afford that. It remains to be seen whether they can negotiate the structure of the deal so that it suits all parties. Spurs have already held talks regarding a move for the former Chelsea and Liverpool striker.
As per the Telegraph, Ange Postecoglou has made it clear that he wants to sign a striker this summer and it remains to be seen whether Spurs can get a deal for the Englishman across the line.
Solanke scored 21 goals across all competitions last season and he could transform Spurs in the attack. The North London outfit used Son Heung-min as their centre forward last season and he scored 17 goals for them. However, he is more suited to the role of a wide player. The arrival of Solanke would allow the South Korean to operate with more freedom.
Meanwhile, Solanke will want to compete at the highest level. He will want to join a big club. The opportunity to join Spurs will be quite attractive for him. He will be hoping that Spurs can secure an agreement with the Cherries before the window closes.
Tottenham have missed a clinical presence like Harry Kane since his departure and Solanke could fill that void if he joins the club.
