The former Bournemouth star has pointed out why he ditched the Cherries for Ange Postecoglou’s side.
Dominic Solanke has expressed his delight at joining Tottenham Hotspur from Bournemouth in a £65million deal.
The 26-year-old striker, known for his goal-scoring prowess and hard-working style, signed a six-year contract with the North London side and is expected to lead Ange Postecoglou’s attack in the 2024-25 season.
Solanke ended last season with 19 league goals, surpassing the Bournemouth goalscoring record in one season, but the forward will take his expertise to the capital.

Speaking to the club after joining from the Cherries, Solanke revealed that the club’s ambition, Postecoglou’s style and playing with players of a higher level meant his decision to move was straightforward.
“It means so much – to sign for a club like Tottenham is everything I’ve wanted really. It’s a magnificent club, a huge club with ambitions that match mine so I’m delighted to start and meet all the boys,” said the striker.
“What excites me most about the club is how ambitious it is. It has a great manager, great players and I feel like it suits my style of play as well, so I can’t wait to get started and do my stuff on the pitch.
“I think the club has got great depth throughout the squad. The attacking options are great and I think that’s what a top club needs, so I’m really looking forward to playing with those players, competing with them and hopefully we can achieve great things.”
