'I am really interested': Alan Shearer eager to see how 'brilliant' new Tottenham signing will fare this season

Tottenham Hotspur are likely to be busy on the transfer front over the next two weeks as manager Ange Postecoglou looks to apply the finishing touches to his squad.

Spurs have made three new senior signings so far in Archie Gray, Dominic Solanke and Wilson Odobert, while Timo Werner has re-signed on loan.

In addition, South Korean prodigy Yang Min-hyuk is now on Tottenham’s books, while Lucas Bergvall has arrived at N17 from Djurgardens.

Alan Shearer has now spoken about one of Spurs’ new signings, admitting he is “really interested” to see how he fares this season.

Alan Shearer keen to see how Dominic Solanke fares at Tottenham

The player in question is Dominic Solanke, who joined Tottenham from Bournemouth in a club-record £65million deal.

Solanke was in prolific form for the Cherries last season, registering 19 goals in the Premier League and 21 in all competitions, plus four assists.

The England international has signed a six-year deal at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and will give Spurs a focal point up front.

“I am really interested to see how Solanke is going to go,” Shearer said on The Rest is Football.

“I think he had a brilliant season and I do think they needed to strengthen in that position.”

Tottenham tipped to finish outside Premier League top four

Shearer and Micah Richards then spoke about where they expect Spurs to finish in the Premier League table next season.

“Back in Europe again,” said the Newcastle legend. “I have them just missing out on Champions League.”

Richards added: “I think they will finish fifth but… will we get the extra fifth spot this year, so they will get Champions League.”

Postecoglou says Solanke is fitting in really well at Tottenham

Earlier this week, Postecoglou revealed how Solanke is adjusting to life in the Spurs dressing room.

“Thankfully it is what we expected,” the Tottenham boss said at his pre-Leicester press conference.

“He is a top pro, a good guy, he has sort of settled into the dressing room really well.

“Footballing-wise you can see he has the attributes that kind of fit into what we want to do really well.

“There is still an adjustment period there as we play a little bit differently and train differently and we have seen that with every new signing that comes in.

“So far he has fit in really well with the group and training. We still have a couple of sessions to go but so far, so good.”
