Tottenham Hotspur are increasingly confident of signing Bournemouth forward Dominic Solanke and ending their search for a striker, according to The Times journalist Gary Jacob.
The 26-year-old has given the green light to a move to North London after enjoying his most prolific scoring season with the Cherries, netting 19 goals in the Premier League.
Spurs would break their transfer record if they met Solanke’s £65million release clause – the English striker’s move would eclipse Tanguy Ndombele’s signing for £63million in 2019.
Tottenham, who begin their campaign away to Leicester City on 19 August, have had a quiet transfer window so far, with midfielder Archie Gray still the only standout signing for Ange Postecoglou.
Speaking to GMS, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano revealed that the North London outfit could still sign up to two attackers, including Solanke, who appears to be top of the list of targets at the moment and has been described as the “complete No.9” by Andoni Iraola.
Romano suggested Tottenham are expected to be busy until the transfer window shuts on 30 August, despite a slow start to their summer business.
