Ange Postecoglou insists Tottenham will never 'replace' Harry Kane as Spurs close in on signing Bournemouth star Dominic Solanke

Postecoglou suggested that Spurs aren't trying to replace Kane by spending a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/tottenham-bournemouth-agree-to-sell-dominic-solanke-club-record-fee/blt599c1a7b0a99c0f5" target="_blank">reported £60 million ($76.6m) to sign Solanke from Bournemouth</a>, because the club's all-time top scorer is a "generational" talent. But they are making attempts to strenghten in attack ahead of the new 2024-25 campaign.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Kane scored 280 goals in 435 Tottenham appearances prior to his 2023 exit to Bayern Munich. That included nine consecutive seasons with at minimum of 24 goals in all competitions. He then scored 44 times in 45 games off the bat for Bayern in 2023-24. Without him, Son Heung-min became Spurs top scorer with 17 goals across all competitions. By comparison, Solanke scored 21 goals in 42 appearances for Bournemouth during the 23/24 campaign.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Postecoglou said: "I don't think we have been looking to replace Harry. You can't really replace a generational player. It's fair to say that's an area of the park, the front third, that we are looking to reinforce. We are trying hard to get the right kind of players into that area."
