Tottenham Hotspur Set to Bid £50m for incredible player to Boost Squad and Revive Kulusevski

Bid Incoming: Spurs Target £50m Goal Machine to Revive Kulusevski

Tottenham Hotspur is gearing up for a big campaign next season. With Ange Postecoglou having settled into the Premier League, fans expect him to guide the team back into the Champions League. However, to achieve this, Daniel Levy and the management team need to bolster the squad during the remaining weeks of the summer transfer window.

Fortunately, reports indicate that the club is actively working on securing the right players. One potential game-changer is Bournemouth striker Dominic Solanke. According to TEAMtalk, Tottenham is ready to offer £50 million plus a player to sign Solanke. Possible players involved in the deal include Giovani Lo Celso, Sergio Reguilon, Oliver Skipp, Djed Spence, or Alejo Veliz. Although Bournemouth initially wanted £65 million, this new offer could still be a significant investment for Spurs. Given Solanke’s form last season, this transfer could be worth it, especially since he could help revive the performances of players like Dejan Kulusevski.

The Lilywhites’ interest in Dominic Solanke has intensified, and they are preparing an offer to secure his services. Solanke’s addition could be crucial for Kulusevski’s performance next season due to his impressive goal-scoring ability. Last season, only Son Heung-min and Richarlison scored more than ten goals across all competitions for Tottenham. This left the club’s wingers, including Kulusevski, without an effective goalscorer to play off down the middle.

According to Understat’s data, Kulusevski underperformed his expected assists figure in the league by 5.62 last season. In contrast, when Harry Kane was in the team the previous season, Kulusevski overperformed by 1.52.

Introducing a Premier League-proven number nine like Solanke could see Kulusevski’s assist tally increase. Solanke scored 21 goals and provided four assists in 42 appearances for Bournemouth last season, averaging a goal involvement every 1.68 games. This impressive performance saw him finish joint-fourth in the Premier League’s top scorer list, which would have made him Tottenham’s top goalscorer.

Ultimately, Tottenham needs a clinical number nine to climb the table next season, and Kulusevski needs one to convert the chances he creates. While Solanke might not have the reputation of other strikers on the market, he has proven his ability to score goals in the Premier League.
