Tottenham ‘repeating Dominic Solanke mistake’ as transfer talks held
Dominic Solanke hasn’t set the Premier League on fire since moving to Tottenham in the summer transfer window.
The North London outfit signed the 27-year-old from Bournemouth for big money, but they’re yet to reap the rewards of their investment.
For the money Spurs spent on Solanke, it’s disappointing to see him score just 11 goals for them in all competitions this season.
Instead of signing a quality centre-forward, the Lilywhites opted for the England international, who had a decent spell at the Cherries, but that decision has backfired.
Ange Postecoglou let down by Solanke at Tottenham
Ange Postecoglou has been let down by Solanke as the North London outfit sit 14th in the Premier League table.
Brennan Johnson has the most goals for the Lilywhites, 14, in all competitions this season, highlighting the team’s lack of potency in the final third.
Richarlison hasn’t been reliable at Spurs for several months due to his consistent fitness issues, making his future uncertain.
With an evident crisis of centre-forwards in N17, the former Bournemouth striker has added to Postecoglou’s woes instead of being a solution.
Spurs set to make Liam Delap transfer error
Son Heung-min has also been underwhelming at Spurs in the current campaign, making attacking reinforcements an evident priority for them next summer.
Mathys Tel was signed on loan from Bayern Munich in the winter transfer window, and while the North London outfit have an option to buy him, it wouldn’t make sense considering the French youngster’s performances so far.
Ipswich Town’s Liam Delap is one of the names being linked with a move to N17 in the coming months as the Lilywhites look to bolster their forward line.
Tottenham have already held talks with the 22-year-old’s representatives and like what they’ve heard from him, according to TBR Football.
| Competition (2024/25) | Appearances | Goals | Assists |
| Premier League | 28 | 10 | 2 |
The news outlet reports (28 March) that several Premier League teams are interested in the England Under-21 international, and he’s open to joining any of them.
It’s been claimed that the Tractor Boys want £40million for Delap, which is a significant outlay for a striker who’s scored 10 Premier League goals this season.
Spurs already took a gamble with Solanke last summer, which hasn’t paid off, and a move for the Ipswich centre-forward doesn’t make sense.
The North London outfit would arguably be repeating the mistake they made with the former Bournemouth star if they sign the ex-Manchester City ace instead of a reliable goalscorer in the coming months.
