Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly keen on signing 26-year-old Bournemouth striker Dominic Solanke this summer.
According to a report from reputed Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, Tottenham are exploring a summer move for 26-year-old England international Dominic Solanke, who scored 21 goals in all competitions last season.
Solanke has been linked with Chelsea as well. Meanwhile, Spurs need to bring in a suitable replacement for Harry Kane, who left the club last summer. They missed his clinical presence last season and had to use Son Heung-Min in the attacking role.
However, the South Korean international is more suited to the role of a wide player, and it would have been ideal for Tottenham to sign a recognised striker. It will be interesting to see if they can get a deal done for Dominic Solanke this summer, with the Englishman on their radar for a long time.
The 26-year-old striker will be tempted to join a big club like Tottenham, and he will be able to compete in European football with them. He could sort out Tottenham’s attacking problems and allow players like Son to operate in their natural roles as well. Furthermore, he has established himself as a reliable goalscorer in the Premier League.
Apart from that, his ability to hold up the ball and bring others into the play would add a new dimension to the Tottenham attack. The England international will certainly hope that the two clubs can finalise an agreement in the coming weeks and it remains to be seen how the situation develops.
Tottenham need a quality striker
Tottenham failed to secure UEFA Champions League qualification last season, and they will be desperate to finish in the top four next term. They will look to end their wait for silverware as well. Spurs need quality additions to win a trophy in the upcoming campaign.
Someone like Solanke could make a huge difference for them in the final third. The striker is at the peak of his powers, and he will look to compete at the highest level. A moved to Tottenham would be the ideal step up in his career right now.
The 26-year-old England international has previously failed to showcase his qualities at Chelsea and Liverpool. He will want to grab the opportunity if it comes his way and prove that he is good enough to play for the best clubs in the country.
