Tottenham fans will love what Dominic Solanke's former teammate had to say

A former teammate of Dominic Solanke has made some comments that are sure to please, or reassure, a few Tottenham fans.

Former teammate Shane Long has praised Dominic Solanke's impact at Tottenham, highlighting the striker's value to the squad since his big-money move from Bournemouth.

After joining Spurs in the summer transfer window for around £64 million, Solanke has quickly established himself as a key player for the North London club.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Long, who shared the pitch with Solanke at Bournemouth, had nothing but praise for his former colleague:

"I like Dominic Solanke. I know he’s not really hit the ground running fully at Tottenham, but I’ve played with him at Bournemouth and I know how good he is, how good a goalscorer he is."

The former Republic of Ireland international believes that Solanke still has room to grow and can reach even greater heights in a Spurs shirt.

His pressing, movement, and link-up play have fit right into Ange Postecoglu's setup, showing just how well he’s adapted to the fast-paced, high-energy style the gaffer expects.

Solanke’s performances have not gone unnoticed, earning him his first England call-up in seven years, where he provided an assist in their match against Greece.

Long’s faith in Solanke's potential isn't unfounded. He believes that despite a steady start, there is much more to come from the 27-year-old.

Although Solanke only saw limited action during the international break, his short cameo for England means he’ll return to Tottenham well-rested and ready to tackle the demanding schedule ahead. This freshness could be crucial as Spurs look to maintain their momentum in the league.

Some might say there are sharper goal-scorers out there, but it’s Solanke’s all-around game that really shines. His knack for pressing up top and linking up play so smoothly slots perfectly into Postecoglu’s game plan, making him a real asset for Spurs.

Dominic Solanke has tallied up 3 goals and 2 assists in 8 matches this season for Tottenham, across the Premier League, Carabao Cup, and Europa League.
