REPORTS: Striker Solanke of Bournemouth earns a £75 million contract with Tottenham.

In a move that might cost up to £65 million ($83 million), Tottenham signed Bournemouth striker Dominic Solanke to enhance their offensive options for the upcoming Premier League season.

With a six-year contract in place, the 26-year-old will pay an initial £55 million plus an additional £10 million in add-ons.

After spending a brief time at both Chelsea and Liverpool, Solanke started his career at Bournemouth in 2019 and had his highest goal-scoring season with 19 Premier League goals in 2023–2024.

He is anticipated at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for this Saturday’s friendly against Bayern Munich.\

Tottenham will have made Solanke their record signing if they decide to pay the entire amount.

When Harry Kane left for Bayern Munich a year ago, Spurs resisted the urge to acquire a striker.

Now that Ange Postecoglou’s team has placed fifth in the Premier League the previous year, Solanke will want to propel them back into the Champions League.

Bournemouth owner Bill Foley had confirmed earlier this summer that Solanke’s contract included a release clause in the region of £65m and his exit is a club record sale, bettering the £40m they received for Nathan Ake from Manchester City in 2020.

“After Dominic’s performances for us – in particular his impressive 2023-24 season – it has come as no surprise that a team of Tottenham’s calibre has shown an interest,” said Bournemouth’s chief executive Neill Blake.

“His development since arriving in 2019 is a credit to his work rate and endeavour, as well as the platform AFC Bournemouth gives young talent to grow.

“We’re pleased to secure a club-record fee for Dominic and he also leaves with everyone’s sincere well wishes at AFC Bournemouth.”
