Tottenham Hotspur have secured the services of a big-money signing ahead of the new Premier League season.
Reports yesterday picked up pace regarding Tottenham’s interest in Bournemouth striker Dominic Solanke and by the afternoon the BBC reported that Spurs had agreed a deal worth up to £65million with the Cherries which would see them pay an initial £55m with £10m in add-ons
The Athletic have revealed this morning that Solanke has now completed his transfer to Tottenham having undergone a medical at Hotspur Way and has overnight put pen to paper on a six-year contract with Ange Postecoglou‘s side.
The striker enjoyed his best-ever scoring campaign in the Premier League last season having scored 19 times to help Bournemouth to finish in twelfth place in the table.
Solanke missed Bournemouth’s pre-season friendly with Rayo Vallecano last weekend due to a foot injury and now could be in contention to face Leicester City in Tottenham’s first Premier League game of the 2024/25 season.
The 26-year-old was under contract Vitality Stadium until 2029 but a hefty release clause worth £65million could be triggered by a number of clubs, including Tottenham.
Liverpool hold a 20 per cent sell-on clause after Solanke left to join Bournemouth for an undisclosed fee and could receive as much as £9m from the £65m clause.
Solanke becomes Tottenham’s first natural number nine since the departure of Harry Kane to Bayern Munich last August.
