Ex-Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane has shared his thoughts on his former club's latest signing.

England captain and Tottenham icon Harry Kane has endorsed Dominic Solanke as an excellent fit for his old club after the Nigeria-eligible star made the move from Bournemouth.

After Bayern Munich's 3-2 friendly win over Tottenham, Kane shared his thoughts on the move and was full of praise for both parties.

"Yeah, he should be great. Dom is a great player and plays with high intensity and high speed."

Kane is confident Solanke will thrive under Ange Postecoglou's management:

"For sure, he's going to get chances in this team with the way Ange plays. You saw that today, two top teams going at it."

Kane concluded with a glowing review of the signing:

"I think it's a really good signing. I've seen him in the dressing room there and I just wished him all the best and of course I hope he has a great season."

Solanke joined Tottenham from Bournemouth in a deal worth up to £65million, signing a contract until 2030, and will be expected to make his debut in the season opener against newly-promoted Leicester City next Sunday.
