Tottenham Hotspur has announced the signing of English striker Dominic Solanke from AFC Bournemouth. The deal, which is valued at £60 million, marks a major statement of intent from the North London club as they look to fill the void left by their former talisman, Harry Kane.

Solanke, who is 26 years old, has signed a six-year contract with Spurs, committing his future to the club until the summer of 2030. This transfer makes him Tottenham's record signing, surpassing previous high-profile acquisitions such as Tanguy Ndombele and Richarlison.


The striker had an impressive season with Bournemouth, netting 21 goals and showcasing his prowess in front of goal. His arrival at Tottenham is seen as a crucial step in bolstering the team's attacking options, especially after the departure of Harry Kane to Bayern Munich last summer.

Ange Postecoglou, Tottenham's manager, emphasized that while Solanke is not a direct replacement for Kane, his addition brings a new dimension to the squad. "Dominic is a fantastic player with great potential. We believe he will be a valuable asset to our team," Postecoglou stated.


The financial details of the transfer reveal that Spurs will pay an initial £55 million, with an additional £10 million in performance-related add-ons.

Solanke, who began his career at Chelsea and made his first-team debut in October 2014, expressed his excitement about joining Tottenham. "I am thrilled to be part of such a prestigious club. I look forward to contributing to the team's success and making the fans proud," he said.


With his right-footed precision and a jersey number 9, Solanke is expected to make an immediate impact. His career statistics, including 19 Premier League goals in 38 appearances for Bournemouth, highlight his capability to perform consistently at the top level.
