Tottenham will advance on the signing of a proven Premier League striker and TEAMtalk has learned how much they’re prepared to offer in a tempting cash-plus-player bid.
Spurs have quietly completed
deals already this summer, with Timo Werner (loan), Archie Gray (£40m) and Yang Min-hyuk all signed. 18-year-old South Korean winger Yang will link up with his new Tottenham teammates six months from now in January.
Regarding exits, fees have
collected for Joe Rodon (£10m – Leeds United) and Troy Parrott (£6.7m – AZ Alkmaar).
Elsewhere, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg (Marseille) and Bryan Gil (Girona) have both left on season-long loans. Hojbjerg’s deal contains an option to buy.
Right-back Emerson Royal is understood to be closing in on a permanent switch to AC Milan, though today’s update regards a blockbuster striker signing.
Fabrizio Romano led the way when revealing Tottenham’s interest in Bournemouth frontman, Dominic Solanke, back on August 1.
The 26-year-old caused Spurs all manner of problems in their Premier League clashes with Bournemouth last season and Solanke’s mark of 19 league goals was surpassed only by Erling Haaland (27), Cole Palmer (22) and Alexander Isak (21).
Solanke has already proven
can torment EPL defences and the hope will be playing alongside higher quality stars such as James Maddison and Son Heung-min can see Solanke regularly break the 20-goal barrier in north London.
Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou has confirmed the club are seeking a new signing at centre-forward. Richarlison hasn’t justified his lofty £60m price tag and continues to be courted by Saudi Arabian sides.
Richarlison’s struggles resulted in Son playing out of position at No 9 for much of last season. But per a fresh update from the Telegraph, Postecoglou wants to revert Son to his favoured left wing role.
But of far greatest interest to Spurs fans in the Telegraph’s update is the claim Tottenham are ready to accelerate their pursuit of Solanke.
