Liverpool benefit from clause created by Richard Hughes
Ironically it adds to the transfer pot of Anfield sporting director Richard Hughes, who negotiated he original deal for Bournemouth when they signed him from Liverpool in 2019.
The deal for Solanke represents a club record sale for Bournemouth, but also a club record purchase for Tottenham – just surpassing their signing of Tanguy Ndombele, who arrived from Lyon in 2019.
Despite the record outlay, Tottenham confirmed to HITC earlier this week that the purchase of Solanke was not dependent on them selling anyone such as Richarlison – who has been linked with a move to the Saudi Pro League.
