Van Dijk and Ollie Watkins react to Dom Solanke’s thrilled Tottenham message
Dominic Solanke marked a personal career highlight with a message to fans after continuing his standout form for Tottenham.
Solanke is in red-hot form despite Spurs’ inconsistent Premier League campaign, having scored in three consecutive Europa League games to help guide the club into the final.
He also found the net in his most recent league appearance against Liverpool, further underlining his growing influence in Ange Postecoglou’s side.
Solanke has played a vital role for Tottenham and their European run, which will see them face Manchester United in an all-English Europa League final on 21 May.
After his latest goal, the England international hit a significant personal milestone and one he proudly celebrated with fans on social media.

Dominic Solanke celebrates 100 career goals milestone amid Tottenham resurgence
Following his recent scoring streak, Solanke shared a heartfelt message on Instagram confirming he has now reached 100 career goals.
The striker posted a short animated video highlighting key moments from his journey, including spells at Chelsea, Liverpool and Bournemouth. The clip was accompanied by the caption: “100 Career goals, the journey continues.”
The post sparked widespread reaction across the footballing world, with Virgil van Dijk and Ollie Watkins liking the video, and Chelsea’s Tosin Adarabioyo commenting: “That’s sick.”
His Tottenham teammates also showed their support, with Djed Spence, Radu Dragusin and Micky van de Ven among those who liked the post.
Solanke had struggled to find form earlier in the campaign for Tottenham, leading to frustration among Spurs fans over the club’s £65 million investment.
However, despite a season interrupted by injury, the English forward has now registered 15 goals and eight assists in all competitions, a strong return that highlights his growing influence in the squad.
Tottenham to make Mathys Tel decision amid doubts over permanent deal
While Solanke’s form continues to shine, Bayern Munich loanee Mathys Tel has seen his minutes limited, often deployed out wide rather than in his preferred central role.
Former Manchester United chief scout Mick Brown told Football Insider that Tottenham plan to hold discussions with Bayern before making a decision on Tel’s future.
However, a permanent stay in North London appears unlikely, with Spurs unwilling to meet Bayern’s £45 million asking price for Tel.
The Frenchman was one of the most highly sought-after prospects during the January window but has endured a frustrating stint at Tottenham and as things stand, his next destination remains uncertain.
