Bournemouth Sanction Club Record Sale Of Solanke To Spurs

Ange Postecoglou's side have struck a deal with the Cherries worth up to £65m for the 26-year-old.

Spurs will pay an initial £55m for the one-cap England international with a further £10m in add-ons.

Solanke becomes Bournemouth's record sale, eclipsing the £40m Manchester City paid to sign Nathan Ake in the summer of 2020.

Solanke joined Bournemouth from Liverpool in the summer of 2019 and scored 77 goals in 216 games for the club.

Last season, he scored 19 goals in 38 Premier League games for Bournemouth.

"It's a magnificent club, a huge club with ambitions that match mine, so I'm delighted to start and meet all the boys and get started," Solanke told Spurs TV.

"What excites me most about the club is how ambitious it is. A great manager, great players and I feel like [Spurs] will definitely suit my style of play as well so I can't wait to get started and do my stuff on the pitch."

After Solanke's departure, Bournemouth chief executive Neill Blake said: "After Dominic's performances for us - in particular his impressive 2023/24 season - it has come as no surprise that a team of Tottenham's calibre has shown an interest.

"This move has developed quickly but Dominic has remained professional throughout and I'd like to thank him for that.

"His development since arriving in 2019 is a credit to his work rate and endeavour, as well as the platform AFC Bournemouth gives young talent to grow.

"We're pleased to secure a club-record fee for Dominic and he also leaves with everyone's sincere well wishes at AFC Bournemouth."
