Tottenham Explore Move for Bournemouth Star Dominic Solanke
Tottenham are exploring a move for Bournemouth star Dominic Solanke this summer, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The England international was among the top scorers in the Premier League in the 2023/24 campaign netting 19 times, only less than Erling Haaland, Cole Palmer and Alexander Isak.
That form has seen him identified by the north London club as a key target as Ange Postecoglou looks to bolster his attacking options before the transfer deadline on August 30th.

No formal bid made yet
During the most recent season Spurs often used Heung-Min Son as the central striker, while Richarlison was also used, but neither really made the position their own and that has led to the Lilywhite looking at alternative options in the transfer market.
Writing on his personal X account, transfer guru Romano reports that a deal is likely to be difficult to do for Solanke as Bournemouth consider him a key player and no formal bid has yet been made to the seaside club.

It’s believed that Solanke, who has been described as “elite” by Sky Sports, has a £65million release clause that can only be activated by the “big six clubs”, which means they are likely to stick to that asking price should Spurs make any move to bring him in.
The former Chelsea and Liverpool striker has played 216 times for the Cherries since joining back in January 2019, scoring 77 times in all competitions, and has been capped once by the England senior team back in 2017.
