Tottenham complete £65m club-record signing of Dominic Solanke from Bournemouth

After being linked with a move for the Cherries forward, Spurs have officially got their man. The club state the 26-year-old has signed on a deal until 2030, and could make his club debut against Leicester City later this month.

Prior to this deal, Tanguy Ndombele's £55.5m transfer from Lyon in 2019 was their most expensive purchase but Solanke's arrival eclipses that. This is also Bournemouth's most expensive sale, topping the £41m ($52m) transfer of Nathan Ake to Manchester City in 2020. While manager Ange Postecoglou said Spurs will "never" replace Harry Kane, they will hope Solanke can be just as prolific in front of goal for them.

One-time England international Solanke scored 21 goals and bagged four assists for Bournemouth last season. The forward began his career at Chelsea but struggled to make an impact there. A 2017 move to Liverpool didn't bear much fruit but he was able to rebuild his career at the Cherries.

Solanke, who also had a loan spell at Vitesse in the Eredivisie in 2015-16, could make his Tottenham debut away to newly-promoted Leicester City on August 19 in the return of the new Premier League season.
