Tottenham Hotspur is setting their sights on Dominic Solanke as they search for a striker in the upcoming summer transfer window.

Monitoring Solanke's Progress

Solanke, who plays for Bournemouth, has made a significant impact in the Premier League this season, most recently scoring a hat-trick against Nottingham Forest. Tottenham is closely watching the striker's progress, according to sources.

"Spurs want to sign a striker in the summer. The club hasn't replaced Harry Kane, so recruiting a new forward is a big priority, and Solanke is someone they are closely monitoring," said the source.

The club has already sent scouts to watch Solanke multiple times this season, with plans to continue tracking him into the new year. Bournemouth is aware that if Solanke maintains his current form, other clubs may start showing interest and make bids for him.

Solanke Considered a Better Prospect

While Tottenham is also interested in Brighton striker Evan Ferguson, their interest in the Irishman has reportedly cooled. Solanke is seen as a better prospect, and the club is looking for a focal point striker who has scored 11 goals in the Premier League.

According to the source, Solanke has demonstrated this season that he has the potential to play at a higher level. Tottenham will closely watch his performance between now and the end of the season.

Arsenal Also Interested

Reports suggest that Arsenal is also considering a move for Solanke, adding to the competition for his signature. However, Liverpool, Solanke's former club, stands to make millions if he leaves Bournemouth.

Solanke played for Liverpool 27 times after joining from Chelsea six years ago. In 2019, he joined Bournemouth in a deal worth £24 million, which included a buy-back option and a 20% sell-on clause.

With 11 goals in 17 Premier League games this season, Solanke ranks just behind Erling Haaland and Mo Salah in the goalscoring charts.
