Tottenham Hotspur have been told to avoid signing Dominic Solanke due to concerns over whether he is more suited to Arsenal, with Ange Postecoglou instead urged to move for Ivan Toney.
Tottenham have been linked with Bournemouth ace Solanke, Brentford star Toney and Jonathan David of Lille in recent weeks as they pursue a top striker who can properly replace Harry Kane. On Tuesday, it emerged that Tottenham were planning to open talks for both Solanke and Toney, but they have since landed on the former as their No 1 attacking target.
Solanke has given a Tottenham switch the green light after discussions began between his agent and the North London club.
Tottenham will now enter formal negotiations with Bournemouth as they attempt to forge an agreement. The Englishman is understood to have a £65million release clause in his contract, which can only be matched by certain clubs, but Spurs feel they can capture him for the slightly reduced fee of £60m.
