Tottenham manager, Ange Postecoglou, has made no secret of his desire to sign a centre-forward this summer, with a report unveiling that the Australian has demanded a specific type of striker in his latest transfer meeting with the club.
Tottenham Hotspur are rumoured to be chasing the signature of Dominic Solanke this window, with Fabrizio Romano announcing that Spurs are now in negotiations with Bournemouth after receiving the all-clear from Solanke himself to go ahead with a move.
Rumours come following Postecoglou’s public statement about signing a striker this window, stating: “It’s still the area of the park [striker] we’re really probably the thinnest when I talk about squad-wise at the moment, so obviously that’s a focus for us.” (Football.London)
The Standard has revealed that it could be a case of one in, one out, for Tottenham this summer with Saudi Arabian sides keen on signing Richarlison. Spurs could then use the money from the Brazilian’s sale to fund a move for Solanke.
An explanation for Tottenham’s sudden striker pursuit has been provided by Ben Jacobs who announced that Postecoglou outlined his desire to add a particular type of striker to his ranks in a recent meeting with the Spurs hierarchy.
Jacobs reported: “With Ange Postecoglou, I’m told that in a recent recruitment meeting, he said he’d prefer Premier League experience, which is where Dominic Solanke comes into the mix.”
It could now be a race against time to agree a deal for Solanke with Tottenham’s opening Premier League fixture being just under two weeks away.
