During Tottenham’s pre-season trip to Japan, he said: “What’s important is the type of striker we have.
“You know we play a certain way. We require certain things from a physical point of view, from technical aspects, to be a striker who fits that mold.
“It’s still the area of the park where we’re probably the thinnest when talking about casting at the moment, so obviously that’s a focus for us.”
Solanke began his professional career at Chelsea, having joined the club as a child.
He signed his first professional contract in 2014 and made his senior team debut in a Champions League match against NK Maribor.
That was his only senior appearance for the Blues and he eventually joined Liverpool on a free transfer in 2017.
Solanke made 27 appearances for the Reds, scoring once.
He then joined Bournemouth in a £19 million move two years later.
