Tottenham have agreed a £65m deal with Bournemouth for striker Dominic Solanke.
The deal will see Spurs pay an initial £55m with £10m possible to follow in bonuses. Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou has targeted centre-forward depth this summer.
Liverpool could pocket themselves £10m in additional transfer funds if Spurs secure the signature of Solanke thanks to a sell-on clause. He played for the Reds 27 times during the 2017/18 campaign
Solanke – who scored 19 Premier League goals last season – missed Bournemouth’s pre-season friendly with Rayo Vallecano last weekend due to a foot injury.
Speaking to Sky Sports earlier this week, Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola described Solanke as his key player.
“It’s obvious, Dom is the most important player for us. But the numbers are there,” he said.
Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou highlighted the need for another centre forward option when he told football.london: “You know we play a certain way. We demand certain things from a physical perspective from the technical aspects of it that it’s going be a striker that fits that mould.
“It’s still the area of the park we’re really probably the thinnest when I talk about squad-wise at the moment, so obviously that’s a focus for us.”
