Following Tottenham’s emphatic victory over West Ham, fans will be excited to hear Dominic Solanke’s ambitious comments about his aspirations for the Champions League next season at N17. Despite only scoring three times since his big-money move from Bournemouth in the summer, many pundits, including talkSPORT, have already hailed his signing as a masterstroke.
The 26-year-old fits seamlessly into Ange Postecoglou’s system, showcasing his relentless pressing, ability to hold up the ball, and knack for combining with fellow attackers, making him a significant threat to opposing sides. Earning £90,000 per week, Solanke enjoyed a standout season with Bournemouth last year, scoring 22 goals and providing four assists.
Solanke dreams big
Solanke has made a promising start to his time in North London, but he isn’t resting on his back yet; he’s setting his sights on the biggest prize. He has suggested that if Spurs qualify for Europe’s premier club competition this season, they could aim to win the Champions League next year.
When asked if he dreams of winning silverware, he told The Daily Mail
“Being at a club like Tottenham, that’s what we all want to be a part of. We’re in the Europa League, but the Champions League is where everyone wants to be.
“Hopefully we can reach that next season, and even better to win that. I love the way we play. It’s one of the reasons I came here.”
