Ange Postecoglou backs Dominic Solanke to become ‘strong contributor’ for Spurs

Ange Postecoglou has confirmed Tottenham did look at Ivan Toney as a potential signing, but Dominic Solanke was always his number one target this summer.

Spurs spent £65million to bring in Solanke from Bournemouth last month and his start to life at the club has been disrupted by an ankle injury sustained on his debut at Leicester.

Toney was the other high-profile English forward on the market but he eventually joined Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli in a surprise move which means Spurs will not face him on Saturday when Brentford make the trip across the capital.
