Tottenham complete £65m deal for striker Solanke

Tottenham Hotspur have signed England striker Dominic Solanke from Bournemouth in a deal worth up to £65m.

Spurs will pay an initial £55m with £10m in add-ons for the 26-year-old, who has signed a contract until 2030.

Solanke, who has one international cap, is Tottenham’s fourth signing of the summer after Yang Min-hyuk, Lucas Bergvall and Archie Gray.

“It’s a magnificent club, a huge club with ambitions that match mine, so I’m delighted to start and meet all the boys and get started,” Solanke told Spurs TV.

“What excites me most about the club is how ambitious it is. A great manager, great players and I feel like [Spurs] will definitely suit my style of play as well so I can’t wait to get started and do my stuff on the pitch.”

Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou has been looking to strengthen his attack since England captain Harry Kane left for Bayern Munich last summer.

Solanke joined Bournemouth for £19m in 2019 from Liverpool, who are understood to have a 20% sell-on clause on any profit made by the Cherries from his sale.

He enjoyed the best season of his career in 2023-24, scoring 21 goals in 42 appearances.

Solanke is expected to attend Spurs’ pre-season friendly against Bayern at Tottenham Stadium at 17:30 BST on Saturday.

He could make his Premier League debut for his new club in their opening game of the season against Leicester City at King Power Stadium on 19 August.
