‘He’s really good’: Jamie O’Hara seriously impressed after hearing  the  latest Tottenham signing 

 

The North Londoners have done some good business already in this window. Timo Werner has been re-signed on loan while Archie Gray has come in on a long-term deal. Lucas Bergvall has officially moved to the club as well.

Tottenham have won all of their pre-season games so far, which has further brightened the mood in and around the club ahead of the start of the new season.

However, Spurs still have some work to do on the transfer market, and a new striker is expected to be high on Ange Postecoglou’s wish list.

Jamie O’Hara delivers verdict on Dominic Solanke potentially joining Tottenham

Dominic Solanke has emerged as a key target for Tottenham.

The Bournemouth striker had an amazing 2023/24 campaign in the Premier League. He scored 19 goals and provided three assists, which is a very good return.

Fabrizio Romano revealed recently that Tottenham are exploring a move to sign Solanke before the window shuts. He is on their list of targets.

Harry Kane left Spurs for Bayern Munich in the summer of 2023, and the team hasn’t found a replacement yet. This window, they desperately need a new striker.

Even though Solanke isn’t the most interesting player available, he is nonetheless an excellent talent. He can score goals, as seen by his numbers from the previous campaign, and he would work well with Postecoglou’s system.

When asked about Tottenham’s possible connection to Solanke, analyst Jamie O’Hara seems enthusiastic about the prospect of seeing the striker wear a Spurs uniform.

He stated, “I think he would be a great signing,” on talkSPORT. He seems incredibly talented to me. The previous season was a big one. He would play nicely for the Spurs, in my opinion.

“Solanke’s link-up is really good. You can stick it into him, you know, runners will play off him. You know, you can get Son beyond him. He has got pace as well, he can finish.

“I think he would be a really good player for us.”

Solanke plays just like a former Tottenham star

The reaction to Tottenham’s links to Solanke has been mixed.

Some, like O’Hara, feel he would be a good option for Spurs, while others have found the interest in the Bournemouth man really underwhelming.

However, we think Solanke, for the right price, would be a very good signing for Tottenham. He’s clearly an upgrade on Richarlison and offers a presence up front that Spurs don’t have.

To add to that, he has a ton of experience playing in the Premier League and the fact that he is still only 26 means he’s on the verge of entering his prime.

What may get Tottenham fans a bit more excited is that Charlie Daniels, who was once on Spurs’ books, has compared Solanke to Harry Kane.

“Dom combines the role of a No 9 and a No 10, a bit like Harry does,” he said. “He wants to stretch the game in behind but can also receive it to feet. His movement’s the same as Harry’s and they’ve the same intelligence.

“They both hold the ball up, they’re quite strong. Harry’s a more natural finisher but you can see the similarities.”
