Tottenham know that they need to add difference-makers to their attack who are capable of taking over games and winning them on their own. Players like Bryan Mbeumo, Eberechi Eze, and Xavi Simons are on the Spurs transfer wishlist this summer under new manager Thomas Frank, and they are among the few options with game-breaking ability.
For Spurs, the need to sign attacking game-changers will only increase next season as Son Heung-min is entering the final year of his contract and is actually a candidate to leave the club this summer, should be be enticed by the wages and sporting project offered by one of the clubs in Saudi Arabia or Turkey.
There's also speculation that Tottenham could be after striker help. Richarlison may already have one foot out the door with Everton interested in a reunion. Tottenham have already unsurprisingly been linked to Frank's former Brentford striker Yoane Wissa, who is fresh off a breakout Premier League campaign of his own with 19 goals up top for the Bees.
Thomas Frank has his answer at striker
But it appears Dominic Solanke is safe and just as valued by the new coach as he was by Postecoglou. In his first interview as a Tottenham coach posted to the club's official website, Frank admitted that he is a "big fan" of Solanke.
Last summer, Tottenham spent an eye-watering 65 million pounds to sign Solanke after his breakout season, and while he failed to score even 10 goals for Spurs in his first Premier League season, he was massive in the Europa League as both a timely goal-scorer and an all-around presence.
There's a school of thought that Frank can get more out of Solanke as a scorer than any coach the former England phenom has ever had in his professional career, while Frank will value his role as a facilitator even more than Postecoglou did.
If Frank really is a "big fan" of Solanke, then he may be such a big fan of the veteran striker that he won't be interested in investing big money in another No. 9. Perhaps his former star Wissa will be an exception, but for any Tottenham fans still holding out the highly unlikely hope that Spurs will spend big on someone like Viktor Gyokeres or Hugo Ekitike up top, this praise from Frank for Solanke should end all hopes entirely. Solanke is looking more and more like the guy at the 9 again for Spurs, even with Frank as the manager.
