Tottenham Hotspur have announced the signing of Dominic Solanke from AFC Bournemouth. It goes without saying that the acquisition of Solnake from Bournemouth is the most exciting transfer which Tottenham have made for some time. In truth, they have needed to sign a striker since Harry Kane left to join Bayern Munich in 2023. Now, they have got their man.

With the Premier League set to kick off this week, Tottenham's first match coming against Leicester City on Monday night, many are anticipating Solanke to make an involvement in the game to some degree, which would be his Tottenham debut.

But how could Tottenham Hotspur lineup for the upcoming season with Dominic Solanke at the forefront of their attack?


How Tottenham Hotspur could lineup this season with Dominic Solanke

Goalkeeper and Defence

As things stand, there won't be any changes to the goalkeeper and defence situation. Ange Postecoglou appears to have figured out his best back four and goalkeeper.

Between the sticks, Guglielmo Vicario will play his second season for Spurs. In his first campaign, the goalkeeper exceeded all expectations and proved to be one of the signings of the season.

He will covered by a centre back partnership of Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven. The brilliant news for Tottenham is that Cristian Romero remained a Tottenham player, despite interest from Real Madrid.

As the two full-backs, Pedro Porro will operate the right and Destiny Udogie will operate the left. When every player is fit, these are the two best attacking full-back options for Tottenham.

Midfield

New signings Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall certainly impressed in pre-season. However, time will only tell whether or not Ange Postecoglou views them as instant starters. In my opinion, they won't be.

Instead, Yves Bissouma and Pape Sarr will operate in a double pivot. They have a great. understanding of each other and know when to sit back or bomb forward to help out in attack.

Then, playing as the anchor between midfield and attack, it will be James Maddison. He will hope to pick up where he left off from last season, where he had a magnificent start to the season.

Attack

Tottenham's attack, for once, is pretty stacked in depth and quality. Ange Postecoglou has plenty of options to partner Dominic Solanke in attack, since he is the most likely to operate as a lone striker with two wingers either side of him.

Son Heung-Min is the best player at Tottenham, so he will certainly claim his spot on the left-wing. It is in this position which Ange Postecoglou plans to use Son in the upcoming season, which pleases fans considering this is his best position.

Off the right, the decision is a little trickier. However, Dejan Kulusevski will be the main option. Providing Spurs don't make any signings in this position, the Swedish international is best-placed to start and continue the good precedent he set in the last campaign.
