Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola talks about Dominic Solanke transfer links amid Tottenham rumours
Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola has acknowledged the possibility of Tottenham target Dominic Solanke making a big-money move in the January transfer window. The 26-year-old forward has been in outstanding form this season, playing a pivotal role in Bournemouth’s impressive ascent up the Premier League table.
Solanke added to his goal tally with another strike, taking his season total to 12, in Bournemouth’s convincing 3-0 victory over Fulham on Boxing Day. Currently, he is second only to Erling Haaland in the Premier League scoring charts. His exceptional performances have not gone unnoticed, with Tottenham expressing interest in the English striker.
The Lilywhites, in their pursuit of a long-term replacement for Harry Kane, have identified Solanke as a prime candidate. Despite having attacking talents like Son Heung-Min, Richarlison, and Alejo Veliz, the club is keen on reinforcing their offensive options.
Solanke’s flourishing form under Iraola this season has certainly elevated him into the spotlight, drawing attention from potential suitors, including Tottenham. However, Iraola is wary of the success attracting interest from clubs with significant financial resources, potentially leading to key players, such as Solanke, departing in the upcoming January transfer window. Here is what he told the Independent:
“There are clubs with huge financial potential in England, and it could happen.”
For Tottenham, securing Solanke‘s services would bring a dynamic and prolific presence to their attacking lineup. The English forward’s goal-scoring prowess and overall contributions for Bournemouth have not only elevated his profile but also made him an appealing prospect for clubs seeking offensive firepower.
As the January transfer window approaches, the potential departure of Solanke looms large, creating an intriguing situation for both Bournemouth and Tottenham.
