Dominic Solanke can help push Tottenham into top four – Les Ferdinand

Proven goalscorer Dominic Solanke can provide the clinical edge needed to help push Tottenham up into the top four, according to former England striker Les Ferdinand.

Spurs have been determined to expand their attacking armoury this summer and laid out an initial £55million for Solanke, who scored 21 times in all competitions for Bournemouth last season.

With fellow new recruits Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall also on board, boss Ange Postecoglou hopes his squad can push on from last season’s fifth place finish in the Premier League to challenge again for Champions League qualification.

Ferdinand, who joined Tottenham in 1997 from Newcastle and went on to win the League Cup, believes Solanke can continue to deliver in front of goal for his new club.

“I have watched Dominic for a few years now and he seems to progress and get better each each year,” Ferdinand told the PA news agency.

“Scoring 19 (league) goals in what was a struggling team last season only added to his reputation and what he was doing.

“He has been at Chelsea and Liverpool, so he has got some good clubs under his credentials.

“Going to Spurs now, with the way the team plays, they will have the supply line for him to feed on.”

A huge honour to join this great football club! Can’t wait to suit up and get to work! COYS
