Dominic Solanke scored 19 Premier League goals for Bournemouth last season and it has earned him a big-money move to Tottenham Hotspur.

Tottenham Hotspur have announced the signing of Dominic Solanke from Bournemouth in a deal valued at up to £65 million.

The transfer, which starts at an initial £55 million, includes potential add-ons that could bring the total to £65 million.

Solanke, who finished as the joint fourth top scorer in the Premier League last season with 21 goals, has signed a six-year contract with Spurs.

This move addresses a critical need for Tottenham, who have been seeking a high-quality striker since Harry Kane's departure to Bayern Munich.

Spurs' head coach, Ange Postecoglou, expressed relief and satisfaction with the acquisition, highlighting Solanke's fit with the team's tactical requirements.

The signing is part of a broader effort to strengthen the squad ahead of the new Premier League season, which kicks off in just a week.

Solanke's arrival is expected to bolster Tottenham's attacking options and provide competition for current forwards, including Richarlison.

The deal underscores Tottenham's commitment to building a competitive squad and adapting to the demands of the new season.
