Tottenham set to submit £42.6m bid for striker who plays just like Robert Lewandowski.
Tottenham Hotspur have identified their top striking target.
Ange Postecoglou is in the market for a centre-forward this summer as he looks to assemble a squad capable of challenging finishing inside the Champions League spots.The North Londoners narrowly missed out last term, finishing two points adrift of fourth-placed Aston Villa, so the onus will be to go one better.
With that said, Postecoglou has now identified the striker that he feels will take his side up a level and it’s thought a substantial bid is being prepared.
Tottenham set to submit £42.6m bid for Dominic Solanke
According to Caught Offside, Tottenham Hotspur are preparing to submit a £42.6m bid for Bournemouth striker Dominic Solanke.
The North Londoners have already met with Solanke’s representatives and now a formal offer is expected to arrive in the coming days.
The 26-year-old remains an option for Arsenal and Liverpool but it appears Spurs are now in pole position to land his signature.
TBR reported in June that Solanke has a £65m release clause in his contract that’s only active for the top six clubs.
It remains to be seen if Bournemouth are willing to negotiate lower than his clause.
Dominic Solanke similar to Robert Lewandowksi
Solanke is of a very similar profile to Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski according to FBref data.
The former Liverpool striker is a physically imposing centre-forward that excells at link-up play but most of all, he’s a clinical finisher.
Solanke netted 19 Premier League goals last term, only Alexander Isak, Cole Palmer and Erling Haaland scored more.
