Tottenham Hotspur has strengthened their attacking lineup for the new Premier League season with the acquisition of striker Dominic Solanke from Bournemouth in a transfer deal that could reach \u00a365 million ($83 million). <\/p>\n
The 26-year-old has signed a six-year contract with Spurs, costing an initial \u00a355 million and up to an additional \u00a310 million in add-ons. <\/p>\n
Solanke, who began his career at Chelsea and had a brief stint at Liverpool, joined Bournemouth in 2019. <\/p>\n
He enjoyed a standout season in 2023\/24, netting 19 Premier League goals.<\/p>\n
Solanke is anticipated to feature in Tottenham\u2019s friendly against Bayern Munich at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday.<\/p>\n
If the full transfer fee is paid, Solanke will become Tottenham’s record signing.<\/p>\n
This move comes after Tottenham opted not to sign a replacement striker following Harry Kane’s departure to Bayern Munich last year.<\/p>\n
Solanke will be key in helping manager Ange Postecoglou\u2019s squad aim for a return to the Champions League after finishing fifth in the Premier League last season.<\/p>\n
Bournemouth owner Bill Foley had previously confirmed that Solanke\u2019s contract included a release clause around \u00a365 million, making his transfer a club record, surpassing the \u00a340 million received for Nathan Ake from Manchester City in 2020.<\/p>\n
Bournemouth\u2019s chief executive, Neill Blake, commented, \u201cAfter Dominic\u2019s performances for us \u2013 particularly his impressive 2023-24 season \u2013 it is no surprise that a team of Tottenham\u2019s calibre has shown interest.<\/p>\n
His development since arriving in 2019 is a testament to his work rate and the platform AFC Bournemouth provides for young talent. <\/p>\n
We\u2019re pleased to secure a club-record fee and wish Dominic all the best in his future endeavors.\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
