Dominic Solanke has experienced a frustrating start to the campaign, but has backed one of his Tottenham Hotspur team-mates to produce the best moment of the Premier League season.
Solanke will miss the West Ham United fixture today as he continues his injury rehabilitation, which saw him sit out Tottenham’s 1-0 defeat to Bournemouth prior to the international break.
While the England international watches on from the sidelines, Tottenham were busy in the final days of the summer transfer window, securing the arrivals of Xavi Simons and Randal Kolo Muani.
It was clear to all who watched the loss to Bournemouth that there was a lack of a cutting edge to Thomas Frank’s side in attacking areas.

Dominic Solanke tips Mohammed Kudus to impress at Tottenham
Summer signing Mohammed Kudus admitted Tottenham lacked creativity against Bournemouth; however, Solanke believes the Ghanaian will light up this season for his new club.
Kudus will line up against his former side, West Ham at the London Stadium this afternoon as Tottenham look to return to winning ways.
Solanke told the Premier League’s YouTube channel: “Kudus will produce the coldest moment of the season. He’s definitely got that flair, so I think we’ll see a lot of special moments this year.”
Kudus will rediscover his form against West Ham
Kudus is set to receive a frosty reception from the Hammers fans today, having decided to join their fiercest rivals, but it will likely only fuel the winger to glory.
Not a single player had been traded between the rivals since January 2011, prior to Kudus joining Tottenham from West Ham for £54.5m in the summer.
The 25-year-old was impressive in Tottenham’s wins over Burnley and Manchester City in the first two matches of the Premier League campaign with his trickery and strength causing plenty of problems for the opposing full-backs.
Solanke will be hoping that he can recover from his thigh injury sooner rather than later, having seen first-hand the quality of ball which Kudus delivers into the penalty area.
