Former scout Mick Brown claims Tottenham Hotspur are planning to sign a new striker to replace Dominic Solanke. The North London club has reportedly struggled at the start of the 2026/27 Premier League campaign under manager Roberto De Zerbi, managing only two points from their first five matches. Solanke has yet to score this season despite starting regularly, prompting concerns among club officials.

Tottenham spent over £300 million on ten new players following a difficult previous season, but forward struggles persist following a recent 3-2 defeat to Aston Villa. Reports suggest Spurs could consider selling the 29-year-old forward to fund a permanent transfer for a top-quality goalscorer in 2027.
