Tottenham transfer news: Thomas Frank 'does not fancy' former first

Tottenham Hotspur head coach Thomas Frank has reportedly been left unimpressed by Dominic Solanke.

The Lilywhites became the first away side to win at the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Sunday afternoon, securing a 3-0 success over Everton.

Centre-back Micky van de Ven was the star of the show on Merseyside, with the Dutchman bagging an excellent brace for the visitors.

Since the sacking of Ange Postecoglou over the summer, Tottenham have looked improved in the Premier League under the tutelage of Frank.

A surprise appointment by Brentford, the Dane has earned his stripes in English football and was rewarded with a position at a big club over the off-season.

Tottenham looking to sell Solanke?

According to Football Insider, Tottenham could be heading towards a shock decision during the upcoming transfer window regarding Solanke.

The report claims that Spurs head coach Frank is not a massive admirer of the player, with the Dane 'not fancying' the 28-year-old.

As a result, it is understood that the Tottenham boss wants to recruit a new first-choice striker in the January trading point ahead of the second half of 2025-26.

Consequently, Solanke could become surplus to requirements in North London, with the forward potentially moving elsewhere in the New Year.

In the absence of the striker recently, France international Randal Kolo Muani has featured at the top of the pitch for the trophy-chasing Lilywhites.

Solanke's recent struggles

Under the reign of former manager Postecoglou last season, Solanke was the undisputed first-choice option in the central-striking role.

The 28-year-old joined from Bournemouth in a deal worth £60m during the summer of 2024 and scored 15 goals in his debut campaign, helping Spurs to Europa League glory.

However, Solanke continues to struggle with injury problems, with the three-time England international currently sidelined because of an ankle issue.
