Tottenham Hotspur have been doing everything they can to fill the void left by Harry Kane following his departure in 2023. Replacing a club legend who was so pivotal to their identity was never going to be easy, but the Lilywhites have made a concerted effort to rebuild their frontline—most notably by signing Dominic Solanke from Bournemouth last summer.
The England international had a standout season with the Cherries, establishing himself as one of the Premier League’s most effective forwards. His arrival at N17 brought a wave of optimism, but unfortunately, Solanke’s time at Spurs has been disrupted by injuries, forcing him to spend a considerable amount of time on the sidelines. Still, when fit, the 27-year-old has made a notable impact, showing flashes of the goal-scoring ability and physical presence that made him such a success on the South Coast. His contributions have been crucial in moments for Ange Postecoglou’s side, even if consistency has eluded him due to fitness setbacks.
Tottenham will be hoping to beat Newcastle United to the signature of Matheus Cunha.
Tottenham and Newcastle United are interested in Matheus Cunha.
As per Sofascore, the England international has scored 11 goals and provided eight assists in 33 games in all competitions this season. Although the numbers suggest that the ex-Cherries forward could do a lot better in front of goal, Solanke has been quite impactful in buildup as well. The forward’s latest contribution was assisting two goals in the crucial second leg tie against AZ Alkmaar in the Europa League last 16.
Tottenham want to bring in Matheus Cunha
Tottenham Hotspur are preparing to bolster their attack in the upcoming summer transfer window as they look to reverse their fortunes under Ange Postecoglou. Despite being the second-highest scorers in the Premier League this season, Spurs find themselves languishing in the bottom half of the table, a clear indication that attacking output alone hasn’t been enough to mask deeper issues within the squad. The club is now aiming to add greater consistency, depth, and quality up front to ensure a more balanced and competitive side heading into next season.
The Brazilian striker has a release clause of £62.5 million and Tottenham are willing to activate it and bring the prolific striker to N17. It would be a statement of intent if the deal gets over the line in the summer.
However, a new report has emerged now that suggests Spurs will have to face competition for the 25-year-old. TEAMTalk has reported that Newcastle United have also entered the race for the Wolves man and are looking to bolster their attack if Alexander Isak ends up leaving the Magpies. This has put some serious dents in Spurs’ hopes of signing Cunha in the summer.
