Tottenham Hotspur’s quest for a new striker in January has shifted towards Bournemouth forward Dominic Solanke.
Despite the resurgence in form of Richarlison, who has notably scored four goals in his last three games, including one against Everton in the most recent outing, Spurs are still on the lookout for an additional central striker.
Following Harry Kane’s departure in the summer, there has been a notable gap in the frontline. Heung-Min Son had been filling that role until Richarlison’s resurgence.
The Sun reports that Tottenham is now eyeing Dominic Solanke as a potential signing as the January transfer window approaches.
The article suggests that Solanke has emerged as a target for Tottenham given his recent standout performances and goal-scoring exploits, including a brilliant hat-trick against Nottingham Forest in his most recent appearance. The former Chelsea and Liverpool player has already reached double figures for the season.
Solanke’s impressive form has reportedly captured the attention of Spurs, who are eager to bolster their attacking options with a new number nine if possible.
Bournemouth may demand a substantial fee for the striker, particularly as they turned down a £40 million offer for him in the summer.
For Tottenham, strengthening their squad in the January transfer window is crucial to sustain their pursuit of a top-four finish.
Ange Postecoglou’s efforts deserve full backing, and it’s evident that Tottenham is in need of reinforcements to support the team’s ambitions.
Given Solanke’s strong performances at Bournemouth this season, he could seamlessly integrate into the Spurs setup and provide an immediate impact.
However, considering Bournemouth’s stance—it’s understood they are not in a rush to sell and are performing well under their new manager, Andoni Iraola—Tottenham might have to make a significant investment to secure Solanke’s services or risk losing him to another club.
