Dominic Solanke
Position: Striker (F in Fantrax)
Team: Tottenham
Signed From: Bournemouth for €75m
Prospects: Have Spurs finally gotten their proper Harry Kane replacement? Well, his fellow Englishman, Solanke, bagged nearly 20 goals (19g, 3a) in the Prem last season for the 12th placed Cherries. And he’s a closer match stylistically than Richarlison or Son who played there last season. He's proven himself as a quality Prem striker and is peaking at the prime age of 26. So this deal makes sense for Spurs to strengthen their front line. But he’s not quite in the upper echelon of elite strikers, as semi-proven by missing out on recent call ups to the English national team to Kane, Watkins, and Toney.
