Tottenham ‘admit Dominic Solanke error’ after £50m transfer development
Dominic Solanke hasn’t been the saviour Tottenham had hoped for when they signed him from Bournemouth last summer.
The England international completed a big-money move to the North London outfit but has failed to live up to his valuation.
Spurs haven’t been able to rely on Solanke to consistently score goals this season, which has been a major concern for them as they sit 14th in the Premier League.
Daniel Levy could potentially sack Ange Postecoglou if things continue to get worse for the Lilywhites in the coming weeks, but the hierarchy seem to have realised some of their other mistakes as well.
Levy needs to sanction attacking transfers at Tottenham next summer
Apart from Solanke, Richarlison is another centre-forward who has struggled during his time at the North London outfit.
The former Everton striker could leave Spurs at the end of the season after facing multiple fitness issues over the years.
| Player | Appearances (2024/25) | Goals |
| Solanke | 35 | 11 |
| Richarlison | 14 | 3 |
| Mathys Tel | 9 | 2 |
| Dane Scarlett | 5 | 1 |
| Will Lankshear | 6 | 1 |
When Harry Kane left, the Brazilian striker was seen as heir apparent, but things haven’t worked out for him at the Lilywhites.
Son Heung-min also seems to be in the final stages of his career in N17, showcasing the apparent need for reinforcements up front next summer.
Rodrigo Muniz transfer an admission of Solanke error at Spurs
Mathys Tel’s loan from Bayern Munich includes an option to buy, which the North London outfit could trigger at the end of the season.
Spurs desperately need to bolster their attack in the coming months after the failure of the current crop to deliver.
It wouldn’t be surprising to see the Lilywhites pursue a new number nine after Solanke’s lack of impact in the current campaign, and Rodrigo Muniz may be that star.
Tottenham are interested in the Fulham striker ahead of the upcoming transfer window, according to GiveMeSport.
The news outlet reports (7 April) that Spurs are thinking about making a move for the 23-year-old centre-forward, but the Cottagers are determined to keep a hold of him.
It’s been claimed that Fulham have no intention of selling the Brazilian national and see him as a £50million talent due to his potential.
If the North Londoners opt to shell a significant sum on another number nine a year after buying Solanke, that’ll reflect the failure of the former Bournemouth star’s move to N17.
Much will also depend on Postecoglou, as the Australian manager may not be in charge of the Lilywhites beyond this season.
