That definitely sounds like Solanke. I've seen a fair few Spurs fans anti the idea but would he be that bad a buy given what Ange wants?

Something is not right with him doesn’t look the same after his injury
Apparently he is available for £25-30m but his agent wants £10m as well.

The big striker search: Latest on Jonathan David, Victor Osimhen, Viktor Gyokeres and Alexander Isak
Sky Sports News understands there could be up to 12 clubs in the market for a centre forward this summer; Sky Sports takes a look at some of the best options, with Victor Osimhen, Viktor Gyokeres and Jonathan David - both linked with a transfer to the Premier League - among those assessed
With just a year left on his contract, Jonathan David is another seemingly affordable option for a Premier League club, and a good one after his exploits in the French league over the last few seasons.
He was behind only Kylian Mbappe for goals and assists among centre forwards in France last season, with 19 and four respectively. In 2022-23 season, he was top of the combined xG and xA metric for any striker across the top-five leagues, according to Wyscout's data.
The goals don’t move though. He’s a finisher but it’s his all round game that stands out for me. If you add goals to what he’s got in his locker then you’ve got a player. Pay what’s needed and that sorts our centre forward issue out. I actually could not give a fuck about what he costs. We can afford it. Spend big just now and you don’t have to for a few windows because our players are all young,hungry and improving. Getting the right quality in just now saves us later when you might only have to buy one or two to freshen things up.
Yeah who wants to come to little old Spurs and be paid a fortune!Yeah, you're living in dream land if you think those players would come to us if they were available
Show me the quote from anyone at Spurs that they're "looking at" someone.
It's just wannabe ITKs and journos filling out clickbait.
We need additions in both areas and financially it's completely viable.
Solanke, Neto/Eze, LCB/LB as the 3 signings - I'd take that.
Realistically, Lille is playing in the preliminary round of the Champion League so they will not want to sell their best striker before August 14. If they beat Fenerbache, I think they will not sell David this summer even he has only 1 year left on his contract.The big striker search: Latest on Jonathan David, Victor Osimhen, Viktor Gyokeres and Alexander Isak

I think we'll end up going for Half-Fullkrug, he's got more potential.
He played the other night didn't he?
Supposedly we agreed a fee with Milan yesterday.
Not seen enough of Gyokeres but everyone who has shares your opinion.
What you saying on Solanke?
I have to say that, whilst I haven't seen him play extensively, that was exactly the impression I got with Alvarez. Had his moments, but looked a square peg whenever I saw him, really underwhelming.
100% agree on Solanke.
Also agreed if we get a striker and not a player out wide capable of creating 1v1 it makes fuck all sense to me. We need both. Obviously need both.
For lots of money.
It's the "shiny" cadre. There's no thought on how they fit in with the team dynamic, just how much they cost so we can "win" the transfer window.
