Tottenham Hotspur is really going after Dominic Solanke to replace Harry Kane, who left last summer. Reports say the Bournemouth striker is excited about joining Spurs, and the club thinks they might snag him for £5 million less than his current release clause.

Solanke, a standout performer for Bournemouth, has seen his stock rise significantly this summer as Tottenham looks to strengthen their attacking options. With Kane’s exit leaving a significant gap in their forward line, Spurs have identified the 26-year-old as an ideal candidate to step into the role.

The player’s £65 million release clause is known to be a significant hurdle, attainable only by a few select clubs. However, Tottenham is optimistic that they can negotiate a deal closer to £60 million, potentially saving £5 million off the initial asking price.

This adjustment would make the transfer more feasible for Spurs and allow them to stay within their budget while still securing a high-caliber striker.

Reports from TEAMtalk suggest that Solanke himself is enthusiastic about the prospect of joining Tottenham. Discussions between the player's representatives and the club have already taken place, with the striker expressing a clear desire to move to North London. The fact that Solanke is eager to make the switch could give Tottenham an edge in negotiations.

Despite the growing interest from Tottenham, the club’s focus on Solanke has intensified over the past 48 hours.

Notably, Fabrizio Romano reported that Tottenham would "explore a move" for the striker, although he acknowledged that any potential transfer could be challenging and that no formal bid had yet been submitted.

The possible move has got Spurs fans buzzing with mixed feelings. Some are pumped about the idea of bringing Solanke on board, but others aren’t too thrilled, especially if the price hits £60 million.

They’re worried that might be too much to pay. Still, plenty of fans are ready to back Solanke if he does join and hope he’ll prove his worth on the pitch.

To sum it up, Tottenham Hotspur really wants to bring Dominic Solanke in to strengthen their attack. They’re hoping to negotiate a lower price than his release clause and are counting on Solanke’s interest to help seal the deal.
