The Times report that Solanke is the striker that Tottenham have now set their sights on, revealing that the North London club are now keen to push through a deal for the Bournemouth talisman.

A further update issued by Fabrizio Romano states that talks between Bournemouth and Spurs are now underway with Solanke himself signalling to the Lilywhites that he is keen on a move to N17.

Troy Deeney advises Spurs to sign Toney instead

Whilst speaking on TalkSport this week, former Watford striker, Troy Deeney, has urged Tottenham to sign Ivan Toney instead of chasing Dominic Solanke.

He argued: “I think Solanke works better at somewhere like Arsenal where he has to be on the end of something.

“If you’re going to spend £65million which is the reported fee, I would expect them [Tottenham] to go for Toney, if they can get him.

“Test the water with Brentford and leave the offer on the table for a week.”

Spurs Web Opinion:

Contrary to Troy Deeney’s statements, I believe that Dominic Solanke is an ideal fit for Ange Postecoglou’s Spurs system, with the forward possessing the right levels of mobility, energy, strength and finishing to become a star under Ange.

Solanke also is clearly keen on a move to Hotspur Way this summer, with it unclear if Toney feels similarly. Desire to join is something that Postecoglou is particularly keen on, as revealed by an interview with The Athletic, making Solanke an ideal striker candidate for the Australian manager.
