Bournemouth expect Spurs bid for Solanke

Tottenham are scouting Bournemouth striker Dominic Solanke.

Spurs are considering the in-form centre-forward for the summer market.

A source told The Sun: “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.

“They've sent scouts to watch him already several times this season, and they will continue to track him into the New Year.

“He ticks a lot of boxes for Spurs, and Bournemouth know if he carries on showing the kind of form he is then they will struggle to stop other clubs from sniffing around him. They are bracing themselves for bids."

The source added: “Tottenham want a focal point striker who has scored 11 goals in the Premier League, and Solanke has shown this season that he has the potential to play at a higher level."
