Sky Sports reporter Lyall Thomas brings us the latest transfer update on Premier League rivals Tottenham Hotspur (Tottenham) at a crucial time when the transfer market is about to close. According to his report, highly-rated striker Dominic Solanke is set to travel to Tottenham on Friday evening local time to undergo a medical, signaling that the 26-year-old shot-stopper is close to officially joining the club.
This comes after an agreement was reached between Tottenham Hotspur and Bournemouth over the transfer of Solanke. It is reported that the total transfer fee of the deal is as high as 65 million pounds, including 55 million pounds of fixed transfer fee and 10 million pounds of floating terms. The price not only reflects Solanke's outstanding performance on the pitch, but also highlights Tottenham's determination to strengthen the team's attacking strength.
Solanke's performance at Bournemouth is obvious to all. Last season, he made 38 Premier League appearances for the team, scoring 19 goals and contributing 3 assists, making him a key pillar in the attacking end of the team. His speed, shooting skills and calmness in front of goal were impressive. Therefore, Tottenham are very satisfied with the signing of such an efficient striker.
It is worth noting that Solanke's contract with Bournemouth was not due to expire until 2029. However, in the face of Tottenham's olive branch and lucrative transfer fee offer, Bournemouth eventually chose to release him. This also proves once again the complexity and uncertainty of the player transfer market in modern soccer.
With Solanke about to undergo a medical at Tottenham Hotspur, fans are looking forward to his performance at Tottenham in the new season. Can the young striker continue to excel under Conte's tactical system? Will he be able to form a tacit understanding with Kane, Son and other striker partners? These questions will be answered in the coming games.
