Tottenham Hotspur have completed the signing of Dominic Solanke from Bournemouth in a historic £65m deal, as reported by David Ornstein in The Athletic. The 26-year-old striker has signed a six-year deal with the north London giants, marking the biggest move in Spurs’ history and a record sale for Bournemouth.
Solanke, who enjoyed his peak productive season in the Premier League last year, scored 19 goals for Bournemouth, helping them finish a respectable 12th. A product of Chelsea’s academy, Solanke’s adventure saw him move from Liverpool to Bournemouth in 2019, where they have become an integral component of the team. In 216 appearances, he scored 77 goals, making himself one of the most consistent strikers in the league.

Tottenham’s acquisition of Solanke comes a year after Harry Kane left for Bayern Munich, leaving a significant void in their attack. Despite his remarkable season, Solanke fell under the radar of England’s Euro 2024 squad, with Southgate opting for Ollie Watkins and Ivan Toney.
With the Premier League season just around the corner, Spurs fans are eagerly awaiting their first game against Leicester City on August 19. The signing of Solanke shows a strong objective on the part of the club, which aspires to return to the upper echelons of English football.

It’s hard not to be excited about the signing of Dominic Solanke. This deal is not just about filling the void left by Harry Kane; It’s about building a new era at Tottenham. At £65m, Solanke is worth considerable, but his goalscoring prowess last season suggests he could be worth every penny.
What’s interesting is how Solanke fits into Ange Postecoglou’s offensive philosophy. He is simply a classic number nine; he can go deep, link play and has the technical ability to complement Spurs’ existing offensive talents such as Heung-Min Son and Dejan Kulusevski. His versatility and paint speed could make him a fan favorite at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
In addition, this signing sends a transparent message: Tottenham are content to compete for the European places; aim higher. The resolution to break the club’s move record underlines the ambition of the club’s hierarchy and as fans, we can only hope that this resolution propels Spurs towards the 4 most sensible and beyond.
