“Tottenham’s DESPERATE £86M Striker Hunt as Solanke’s SHOCKING Form Sparks PANIC!”

Dominic Solanke’s time at Tottenham Hotspur continues to be plagued by injuries, as the striker finds himself once again sidelined for an extended period.

The former Bournemouth forward has not featured since Spurs’ 2-0 win over Manchester City on August 23, and initial hopes of a quick return have long faded.

Manager Thomas Frank had initially suggested that Solanke would miss only a few matches, but his situation deteriorated when a recurring ankle problem required surgery, ruling him out for several months.

The long-term absence of Solanke has intensified Tottenham’s striker dilemma, especially with Randal Kolo Muani only just regaining fitness and Richarlison’s own injury history raising further concerns.

As a result, Spurs are reportedly considering a major move in the January transfer window to bolster their attacking options.

According to Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, Tottenham are weighing up a potential swoop for Porto’s rising star Samu Aghehowa.

Club scouts have reportedly been tracking the 21-year-old Spanish striker since late 2024, and interest appears to have grown following his impressive performances in Portugal.

Aghehowa’s form has attracted attention from several Premier League sides, with Tottenham now seriously contemplating a move given their continued struggles with striker availability.

Speaking on the Inside Track podcast, the source explained: “Aghehowa is certainly a name on Tottenham’s radar, as well as that of several other Premier League clubs.

Chelsea were very close to signing him a couple of transfer windows ago before the player chose to remain at Porto.

Newcastle also considered him in the summer while searching for potential replacements for Alexander Isak before signing Nick Woltemade instead.”

Described as one of Spain’s brightest young talents, Aghehowa has been tipped for a stellar career at the top level.

“He’s got enormous potential and could develop into one of Europe’s best strikers if he continues his upward trajectory,” the report adds.

“His release clause is around £86 million—a hefty sum—but given his talent and growth, it could end up being good value for a top club ready to invest.”

The situation at Tottenham underscores the urgency for reinforcements up front. Solanke’s persistent fitness issues and Richarlison’s inconsistent form have left the Lilywhites short of reliable options in attack.

With Frank eager to maintain the club’s momentum in the Premier League, strengthening the striker position has become a priority heading into the January window.

Meanwhile, talk of a Harry Kane return appears to have cooled. Reports suggest that Tottenham were exploring the possibility of luring their former talisman back to north London, but Bayern Munich are now preparing to offer the England captain a contract extension beyond 2027.

The development is expected to end speculation of a short-term reunion, much to Frank’s disappointment, as the manager had spoken openly about his willingness to welcome Kane back.

With Kane likely to remain in Germany, Tottenham must now turn their focus toward finding a long-term solution to their attacking woes.

Whether that comes in the form of a blockbuster move for Aghehowa or another emerging talent, it’s clear the club can ill afford another season disrupted by injury setbacks in such a crucial position.
