‘On a roll’: Chris Sutton reckons ‘underrated’ Tottenham player could rip Ipswich to shreds now

Tottenham face Ipswich Town on Sunday in a game that Spurs will surely be relishing.

Tottenham are coming off the back of a very good 4-1 win against Aston Villa last week, and they will hope to build on that.

Ipswich are yet to get a win since their return to the Premier League, while Tottenham seem to be improving.

Dominic Solanke took the plaudits for his performance against Aston Villa last week, and speaking on Fantasy 606, Chris Sutton has backed Solanke to do the same again here.

Indeed, Sutton suggested that Solanke would be a great pick as a captain for a fantasy team this weekend, claiming that he is on a roll and should be able to rip Ipswich to shreds.

Dominic Solanke tipped to star against Ipswich

Sutton made the case for Solanke to be picked as the fantasy team captain this weekend.

The England international is in good form at the moment, and Sutton expects Solanke to be amongst the goals again this weekend.

“All I would say, did Solanke get, was it 19 goals last season for Bournemouth? He’s now finding the back of the net. Is he not on a roll? Is he worth a punt? That was one of the names who we were thinking for captaincy last week. And we missed out, maybe Solanke, I would say,’ Sutton said.

Sutton is a huge Solanke fan

It’s not at all surprising to hear Sutton predicting big things for Solanke this weekend.

Indeed, the pundit has long been a fan of the striker.

Sutton tipped Solanke to be a fantastic signing at the start of this season.

“Solanke is decent, he’s a good signing for them. I know people speak about it being £65m, but he scored 19 goals last season, over a third of their goals. I think he will be a good fit for Tottenham. I wasn’t always sure about him but I think after losing Harry Kane, I think he will do well there,” Sutton said.

Meanwhile, back in January, Sutton said that Solanke was the player Arsenal should sign.

Solanke, of course, ended up in the other half of north London, and he’s had a solid start to life at Tottenham.

Solanke has previously been described as ‘underrated’, and he’ll want to prove his quality this weekend against Ipswich.
