Tottenham Reassess Striker Plans as Frank Reportedly Unconvinced by Solanke

With Solanke sidelined after ankle surgery, Spurs are expected to rely on in-house forwards during a tricky January window.

Overview

  • Multiple reports say Thomas Frank does not fancy Dominic Solanke and wants a new centre-forward, though sources caution major January business is unlikely.
  • Porto striker Samu Aghehowa is linked as a potential target, with a reported €100m release clause and fresh reporting indicating Spurs could focus on a move next summer.
  • Solanke, who scored 16 in all competitions last season, has managed just 49 minutes this term after undergoing ankle surgery and remains out.
  • Randal Kolo Muani and Mathys Tel are available alternatives, with Richarlison also in contention, but Tottenham’s forwards have struggled for goals so far this season.
  • Some outlets suggest Spurs could consider selling Solanke in January to help fund future signings, with his current valuation reported around £40m.
