Tottenham look set to make their second major signing of the summer in the coming days.
Spurs have already signed Archie Gray this summer, and now, a new striker arrival could be on the horizon.
Indeed, a fee has been agreed for Tottenham to sign Dominic Solanke this summer, and this deal could be done in the near future.
Solanke to Spurs is close to being done, and this deal could be officially confirmed next week.

Dominic Solanke to join Tottenham next week
According to The Times, Dominic Solanke is expected to join Tottenham next week.
The deal is said to be worth £65m, which would represent a club-record fee for Tottenham.
Of course, Spurs have needed a new striker for the past 12 months after selling Harry Kane to Bayern Munich.
Interestingly, Jamie O’Hara stated months ago that he thinks Dominic Solanke is the perfect signing for Spurs.
“But I can’t see how they’d let him go. I’d love him to be at Tottenham. I look at him and think he’s perfect for how we want to play,” O’Hara said.
Dominic Solanke could be incredible for Tottenham
Dominic Solanke could be just what the doctor ordered at Spurs.
Ange Postecoglou hasn’t had that clinical number nine since coming in at Spurs, and Solanke could be just the man he needs.
Solanke hit almost 20 league goals last season, while his incredible blend of skill and speed is perfect for what Ange Postecoglou wants.
According to the Premier League’s stats, Solanke was the fastest player in the Premier League at a certain point, clocking a top speed of 36.2 km/h. For reference, that is a fair bit higher than Heung-Min Son’s top speed according to The Speeds Database, and Spurs fans know just how quick Son is.
As we saw with Kyogo Furuhashi at Celtic, Postecoglou loves a striker who has genuine pace and can run in behind, and Solanke can bring that, and so much more, to Spurs this season.
