Pundit Jamie O’Hara would love to see Tottenham Hotspur beat Arsenal in the race to sign Bournemouth striker Dominic Solanke.
Tottenham continue to score regularly under Ange Postecoglou despite selling Harry Kane to Bayern Munich in August.
Son Heung-min has been in fine form whilst Richarlison has found his shooting boots after a difficult first season at Spurs.
Tottenham may still look to add another striker in 2024 though with Postecoglou harbouring hopes of a top-four finish.
Jamie O’Hara backs Tottenham interest in Dominic Solanke
One name being linked with a move to Tottenham is Bournemouth hitman Dominic Solanke.
Reports earlier in December indicated that Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur had all lined up Solanke as a transfer target.
That report indicated that Mikel Arteta wants Arsenal to bring Solanke to the Emirates Stadium but rumours with Spurs appear to be accelerating.
The Sun added on Christmas Day that Tottenham are looking at Solanke as a bigger transfer target than Brighton and Hove Albion’s Even Ferguson.
Tottenham certainly appear to be interested in the former Liverpool man and pundit Jamie O’Hara – a former Spurs man in his playing days – loves the rumour.
O’Hara has told TalkSPORT (26/12, 7:20am) that he thinks Solanke is truly ‘perfect’ for Spurs and would ‘love’ to see him join Tottenham.
O’Hara thinks that Bournemouth just can’t let Solanke go in January but may well accept an offer in the region of £80million to £90million in the summer.
“I just don’t see how Bournemouth can let him go,” O’Hara said. “The fact that they were tipped to go down this season and then all of a sudden, they’ve found some great form and are playing well.
“At the end of the season, if someone comes in for £80 to £90 million, then we’ll let you go and we can rebuild from there with a couple of decent players that they can buy, but I can’t see how they’d let him go. I’d love him to be at Tottenham. I look at him and he’s perfect for how we want to play,” he added.
Tottenham spending that kind of money on a striker seems a little unlikely even if they do fancy landing Solanke.
The 26-year-old has now hit 12 goals in 18 Premier League games this season and starting to fulfil the potential he showed at Chelsea and Liverpool.
Solanke was mocked not all that long ago having struggled to find the net after joining Bournemouth in 2019.
Now banging the goals in for fun and at the top of his game, nobody is laughing at Solanke anymore and a huge transfer in 2024 wouldn’t be a huge surprise.
