Report: Spurs and Arsenal would have to pay £50m to sign striker this summer

Football Insider have claimed that it would take an offer of £50m for Tottenham and other interested clubs to poach Dominic Solanke away from Bournemouth this summer.

Solanke has had an outstanding season at the Vitality Stadium, having found the back of the net 19 times across all competitions so far.

The centre-forward is now thought to be on the radar of some of the biggest clubs in the Premier League, including Tottenham.

Spurs’ interest in the 26-year-old came to light a couple of months ago when The Sun claimed that some at Hotspur Way view the Bournemouth star as someone who can fill the void left by Harry Kane’s departure.

Dominic Solanke price tag revealed

Football Insider have now confirmed that Tottenham hold a ‘concrete’ interest in Solanke and they say the Lilywhites are expected to face competition from London rivals, West Ham and Arsenal for the striker.

The report claims that the Cherries do not want to let the centre-forward leave and the fact that he has four years left to run on his deal means they are quite calm about the situation.

However, it is explained that the South Coast club would be open to huge offers if Solanke indicates a desire to leave, with a bid of around £50m expected to be enough to clinch his signing.
