Tottenham: Ange Postecoglou confirms interest in signing striker this summer.
Ange Postecoglou has confirmed Tottenham are on the hunt for a new striker this summer.
Spurs lost Harry Kane to Bayern Munich last summer and did not sign a direct replacement, with wide forward Brennan Johnson arriving during the closing stages of the window.
Timo Werner has seen his loan extended into another season but Spurs do lack a central striker, with only two players hitting double figures in the Premier League last season in Heung-min Son and Richarlison.

While captain Son will no doubt continue to play a key role under Postecoglou, Standard Sport understands Spurs would be open to selling Richarlison this summer.
Dejan Kulusevski has been operating up front during the club’s pre-season games so far but Postecoglou has confirmed the focus during the final few weeks of the window will be on their pursuit of a new striker, amid links with Ivan Toney and Dominic Solanke.
“It’s still the area of the park we’re really probably the thinnest when I talk about squad-wise at the moment, so obviously that’s a focus for us,” he told football.london.
Spurs meet Bayern Munich in Seoul on Saturday and Postecoglou has confirmed he will make changes to the team who beat the K-League All Stars XI earlier this week.
“Looking forward to finishing things up in a positive manner and hopefully a good way to finish it off”, he added.
He’s an upgrade’ – Jamie O’Hara left delighted by Tottenham transfer rumour.
Tottenham have reportedly got their eyes on the potential signing of Dominic Solanke this summer.
And talkSPORT’s Jamie O’Hara is absolutely delighted about it.
Solanke netted an impressive 19 goals in the Premier League last season, with only three strikers scoring more across the top tier.
Just last year Solanke signed a contract extension which would keep him at Bournemouth until 2027.
But the Chelsea academy graduate, who has been with the Cherries since 2019, could now be on the move back to London, according to transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano.
The 26-year-old is said to have a £65 million release clause in his contract and has also been linked with moves to Arsenal and Chelsea.
But Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou is on the hunt for a new striker, particularly with striker Richarlison’s future not yet certain.
The Brazilian only scored 12 times in the Premier League last season and O’Hara believes Solanke would represent a serious ‘upgrade’ given those statistics.
“I think it’s a great signing,” he admitted. “I think he’s really good. Big season last season. I think he’d do well for Spurs.”
