Tottenham finally have their long-term replacement for Harry Kane. Though Richarlison has done well when given the chance, his dire injury record made it imperative for Spurs to finally sign a reliable striker.

They have now found their man after signing Dominic Solanke from Bournemouth in what is both a club-record arrival for the north London outfit and a record sale for the Cherries. Spurs have agreed to potentially pay up to €75 million for the former Chelsea and Liverpool youngster.

The 26-year-old penned a six-year contract overnight and his arrival has now been officially announced. Solanke looks an ideal fit for Spurs and Ange Postecoglou's system after coming off his best season in the Premier League in which he netted 19 goals.

The news of Tottenham's signing of Solanke was exclusively broken on Friday on The Transfer Podcast, hosted by Duncan Castles. Back in June, The Transfers Podcast revealed that Bournemouth were open to selling Solanke this summer.

With the deal now wrapped up, Spurs will fancy their chances of enjoying a much more consistent campaign than the previous one when they started the season on fire before falling by the wayside.

Solanke arrives with 29 Premier League goals and 13 assists to his name. Only recently did the 26-year-old manage to establish himself as a high-quality striker in the English top flight, having previously struggled for minutes at Liverpool and Chelsea.

At Bournemouth, however, Solanke found a real home, scoring a more impressive 77 goals in 216 games across all competitions in five-and-a-half years at the club.
