Dominic Solanke: Tottenham agree £65m deal for Bournemouth striker

Must read

Tottenham Hotspur have agreed a deal worth up to £65m with Bournemouth for striker Dominic Solanke.

Spurs will pay an initial £55m with £10m in add-ons for the 26-year-old, who has one cap for England.

Solanke’s release clause of about £65m was confirmed by Bournemouth owner Bill Foley in an interview with BBC Sport last month.

If completed the deal will be a record sale for Bournemouth – exceeding the £40m they received from Manchester City for defender Nathan Ake in 2020.

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

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