Tottenham Hotspur may have just taken a significant step forward in plans to deliver Ange Postecoglou a new striker this summer.

Right now, Spurs don’t have the necessary firepower to accompany Son Heung-min, who is shouldering a lot of the side’s goalscoring.

Last term, Son scored 19 goals in the Premier League, with Richarlison (11) and Dejan Kulusevski (eight) in second and third place for Tottenham.

Richarlison wants to leave Tottenham, further explaining why the club needs to add in the area.

Although the 20-year-old was never going to play a major role this season, Alejo Veliz is on the verge of leaving Tottenham on loan to join Espanyol, and everything is setting up for a new arrival.

Having said that, journalist Fabricio Romano just provided an important update on Dominic Solanke.

Lately, Tottenham has been pressuring to sign Solanke because Postecoglou thinks the Englishman would make a good addition to their front three.

Additionally, Romano recently stated that Solanke is prepared to accept a Spurs offer, despite Bournemouth’s desire to keep the striker.

Dominic Solanke has given ‘green light’ to leaving Bournemouth for Tottenham

Sharing his update on X, Romano said that Tottenham were pushing to sign ‘world-class’ Solanke and that talks had begun.

But most significantly, the journalist shared that Solanke had given the ‘green light’ towards a move to north London – an important step for Spurs.

Romano shared: “Understand Tottenham are pushing to get Dominic Solanke deal done, talks underway with Bournemouth.

“Solanke has given the green light to Spurs as negotiations are ongoing to find an agreement.

“Tottenham want Solanke, as exclusively revealed last week.”
