Tottenham will press ahead with signing a showcased Premier League striker and TEAMtalk has learned how much they are willing to offer in a tempting offer of cash plus a player.
Spurs have already quietly closed several deals this summer, with Timo Werner (on loan), Archie Gray (£40m) and Yang Min-hyuk all signed. The 18-year-old South Korean winger, Yang, will join his new Tottenham. teammates in six months, in January.
As for departures, the fees charged by Joe Rodon (£10 million – Leeds United) and Troy Parrott (£6. 7 million – AZ Alkmaar).
On the other hand, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg (Marseille) and Bryan Gil (Girona) went on loan for one season. The Hojbjerg deal is a purchase option.
Right-back Emerson Royal is reportedly the latest to make a permanent move to AC Milan, with today’s update seeing the signing of a blockbuster striker.
Fabrizio Romano opened the door and revealed Tottenham’s interest in Bournemouth leader Dominic Solanke on August 1.
The 26-year-old caused Spurs all sorts of turmoil in their Premier League clashes against Bournemouth last season and Solanke’s record of 19 league goals was only surpassed by Erling Haaland (27), Cole Palmer (22) and Alexander Isak (21).
Solanke has already shown he can haunt EPL defences and the hope of betting alongside higher-quality stars such as James Maddison and Son Heung-min would possibly see Solanke break the 20-goal barrier in north London.
Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou has shown that the club is in favor of a new signing as a centre-forward. Richarlison has been unable to justify his £60million maximum value and continues to be courted through Saudi parties.
Richarlison’s problems saw Son play out of his number 9 position for much of last season. But according to a new Telegraph update, Postecoglou needs Son to return to his left-wing role.
But the biggest interest for Spurs enthusiasts in the Telegraph update is the claim that Tottenham are in a position to boost their search for Solanke.

The media outlet claims that “Tottenham Hotspur want to move forward for Bournemouth striker Dominic Solanke. “
TEAMtalk has learned that Spurs have held talks with Solanke and his camp. The striker is reportedly set to sign for Tottenham and the Telegraph echoes these claims.
Furthermore, the report adds that Solanke is favorably contemplating joining one of England’s biggest clubs after his past spells at Chelsea and Liverpool never having had a real chance to shine. The player believes that he has something to achieve and would be doubly determined to succeed at Spurs.
Solanke has come a long way in his game since joining Bournemouth and the Cherries are reluctant to sell.
There is a release clause worth £65 million, the clause can only be caused through unspecified clubs. Although it is not confirmed, some media have warned that only teams qualified for the Champions League can trigger the clause. Tottenham is not one of those clubs.
That may not matter, however, after TEAMtalk learned that Tottenham intend to offer another type of deal that would forget the clause anyway.

We think Spurs are willing to put £50m on the table and also offer a player to sweeten the deal.
First-team stars such as Giovani Lo Celso, Sergio Reguilon, Oliver Skipp, Djed Spence and Alejo Veliz may be candidates for inclusion, and Spurs are keen to get rid of the quintet in this window.
It is still clear who Tottenham will offer as bait, including whether it will be a fringe player or a young player in the team.
Tottenham’s signing remains the £60m they committed to signing Richarlison from Everton (£50m plus £10m in add-ons).
Considering the star price that Spurs have in their money plus the player they offer for Solanke, a move for the Bournemouth hitman could break his record for moves.
Elsewhere, Tottenham are still searching for a dynamic central midfielder after choosing NOT to bid for Conor Gallagher to join Atletico Madrid.
The Telegraph warned that Tottenham considered acting in their interests to be unnecessary given that Chelsea would sell more to a foreign club than to a domestic rival and, specifically, to one with whom they share a rivalry such as Spurs.
