Tottenham ready to offer player plus cash for £65 million top target
Tottenham Hotspur are on the lookout for a new striker this summer, and Dominik Solanke from Bournemouth is now a top target.
The Mirror reports that the 26-year-old forward, who’s signed with Bournemouth until 2027, has a release clause of £65 million.
Solanke’s impressive performances last season have caught the attention of Tottenham. The forward scored 21 goals in 41 appearances across all competitions, making him the joint fourth-top scorer in the Premier League.
His stellar season brought his overall Premier League tally to 29 goals and 13 assists in 134 games. Given his scoring prowess, it’s no surprise that Tottenham’s management views him as a valuable addition to their attacking lineup.
However, Tottenham faces a challenge in meeting Solanke’s release clause. While the club is keen on securing his services, they are hesitant to pay the full £65 million upfront. Instead, Spurs are considering a player-plus-cash deal.
This would mean offering one or more of their current players plus a cash payment to Bournemouth, which could help reduce the financial strain of the transfer.

Negotiating this deal won’t be easy. Bournemouth has to think about the pros and cons of getting extra players and cash versus losing their top striker. Solanke is a key player for them, so letting him go is a big deal.
With the transfer window moving forward, Tottenham fans will be keeping a close watch on this situation. Bringing in Solanke could give a major boost to Tottenham’s attack and help them achieve their goals for the upcoming season.
With Spurs eager to strengthen their squad, signing Solanke would be a thrilling opportunity to enhance their offensive lineup.
It’s still unclear if Tottenham will be able to successfully negotiate and sign Solanke. The next few weeks will be critical as the club works on bringing the talented forward to North London.
For now, Spurs fans will have to wait and hope that the deal goes through, potentially adding a key player to their squad for the new season.
