Dominic Solanke could cost as much as £70m this January amid rumours that Tottenham are now interested in the AFC Bournemouth star.

The former Liverpool striker has been one of the most prolific attackers in the Premier League this season, with Solanke already beating his personal best in the English top-flight this campaign.

And according to journalist Alex Crook, Bournemouth are unwilling to sell their star forward in the final hours of the transfer window, despite recent reported interest from Tottenham.

Crook said via TalkSport: “Dominic Solanke has obviously had a brilliant first half of the season, he’s already scored more goals in this campaign than in any of his previous seasons in the Premier League. You can understand why he would be attracting interest.

“I know that West Ham United in the summer made contact with Bournemouth, but that didn’t really go anywhere. I think it would take an offer of at least £70m to persuade Bournemouth to even contemplate doing business between now and 11pm tomorrow.

“It’s not really the type of number that Daniel Levy would really get to in a January transfer window. So, I think Solanke will stay, but I think if he maintains the form that he’s been in so far, then come the summer, there’ll be a few teams who may be trying to prise him away from the south coast.”

Dominic Solanke could be perfect for Tottenham in the summer

After years of promise, Solanke is finally showing his true colours in the Premier League at Bournemouth, with the 26-year-old one of the most prolific strikers in the division this season.

12 goals in 20 matches is quite the record for the former Chelsea academy star, and for Tottenham, Solanke could be a perfect signing in the summer.

As we know, the north London side are in the market for a new leading striker, with Solanke’s form suggesting that the attacker could be an ideal fit for Tottenham.

Moreover, a top-four finish could aid Spurs massively in any deal to sign Solanke, who he himself might already be sold on the idea of joining one of the Premier League big guns later this year.
