Revealed: How Dominic Solanke feels about leaving Tottenham in January
Solanke is expected to be given time to get back to full fitness before Tottenham make any decisions over his future.
Sources told Football Insider that Tottenham are lining up striker replacements for Solanke, given his frustrating time in north London so far.
Solanke is currently battling with injury which has opened up the possibility of a new striker joining Spurs in January.
Thomas Frank is supposedly not a fan of Solanke, which could signify a premature end to his Lilywhites career in the coming transfer windows.
Tottenham will give themselves until summer to address Solanke’s uncertain future
As I revealed on the latest edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, the Englishman will most likely be given the benefit of the doubt due to his lack of match involvement this season.
Solanke hasn’t featured since Tottenham’s 2-0 win over Man City on 23 August and since then the club acquired the services of Randal Kolo Muani to provide further competition up front.
Speaking on the Inside Track podcast over the Lilywhites’ action plan for the former Bournemouth star, I explained: “I think summertime will give them [Tottenham] a better opportunity to maybe bolster their attacking options, but for Solanke himself, his main focus will be to get fit and stay fit.
“Then, obviously, get back in that Tottenham team and score goals for them and hopefully help them enjoy a successful season.
“I think it’d be a bit unlucky or a bit harsh if Tottenham were ready to let him go, especially with the injury problems that he’s had this season.
“I think the main focus for Tottenham and the player is to get fully fit and then try and win his place in Thomas Frank’s plans.”
Tottenham remain interested in potential Solanke replacement Dusan Vlahovic
Football is an ever-changing game and if the 28-year-old suffers a setback in his recovery, Spurs may be forced to go out in the market in January.
Everton’s former chief Keith Wyness exclusively told Football Insider that Tottenham are leading the race to sign Dusan Vlahovic from Juventus.
The Serb has made his feelings clear over an exit at the end of the season upon his contract expiration, with several top European clubs all vying for his signature.
The Italian outfit will be keen to cash in on the striker in January, which could see the Lilywhites make a bold move to beat other suitors to the 25-year-old.
