Tottenham are advancing on Dominic Solanke talks with Bournemouth, sources have told Football Insider.

Spurs want to agree a fee below his £65million release clause by making a higher initial payment to get the deal over the line.

Football Insider revealed that Solanke is keen on moving to Tottenham, while a deal of that sum would see Liverpool receive £13million.

If Tottenham manage to sign Solanke, the club are confident that they will be able to secure a Saudi buyer for Richarlison before the 31st August cut-off.

Football Insider revealed that Spurs expect to receive a “huge” offer from a Saudi Pro League club in the coming days.

Saudi teams are set to decide their budgets imminently, which will trigger movement across the Premier League later this month.

Interest remains on the table for the Brazil international, which Spurs could tap into if they manage to secure Solanke.

Tottenham would be looking to add goals with Dominic Solanke

Solanke provided Bournemouth with his best-ever Premier League return last season as he scored 21 goals and created four assists.

Comparatively, Richarlison scored 12 goals in all competitions and provided four assists.
