Ange Postecoglou, the manager of Tottenham Hotspur, has demonstrated his willingness to take bold decisions.
Since assuming the position, the Australian has completely changed the team, making them an exciting team that the fans adore. Postecoglou demonstrated his bravery prior to the start of his first Premier League season when he chose not to sign a replacement for Harry Kane.
Although Tottenham had a respectable season without the England captain, they have now finally added Dominic Solanke to the roster. Graeme Souness has offered his assessment on the transfer.
Dominic Solanke, according to Graeme Souness, is a risk for Tottenham.
Dominic Solanke from Bournemouth was signed by Tottenham in a transaction that may potentially cost up to £65 million.
The 2023–24 season was fantastic for the Englishman. He shown he had what it takes to perform at the highest level by scoring 19 goals in the Premier League.
Many teams were said to be interested in signing Solanke, but Tottenham intensified their pursuit and completed the transfer over the weekend.
While many Spurs supporters are eager to watch how Solanke performs, Souness appears to be concerned about the former Liverpool striker’s consistency. He referred to Tottenham’s signing of Solanke as a “gamble.”
Hell of a lot of money for him, I think, Souness stated on talkSPORT. sixty-five million pounds?
He has scored 28 goals in, I believe, 112 games played. Was it 19 the previous year? In the Premier League, he is not a consistent goal scorer. I consider that to be something of a risk.
Spurs supporters have one major concern over Solanke.
Solanke swiftly rose to the top of Tottenham’s want list as they desperately needed an all-around striker this summer.
For Postecoglou, the former Bournemouth player ticks a lot of boxes: he’s powerful, adept in the air, able to hold the ball up and encourage his teammates to play. In the 2023–2024 Premier League season, he additionally demonstrated his prolific ability. However, the one huge concern is that Solanke could feel the burden of his price tag.
Numerous gifted athletes have made lucrative transfers to elite teams, only to find it difficult to live up to the hype. Given that Solanke has cost Spurs a great deal of money, it is undoubtedly cause for concern.
But, the one plus is that Postecoglou’s men will produce a bunch of opportunities for Solanke, so he will surely not be starved of service. He should back himself to convert those chances.
