Dominic Solanke arrived at Tottenham Hotspur this summer in a club-record deal from Bournemouth and he is already enjoying the step up in quality of teammates.
The striker has had the chance to train with players like Heung-min Son and James Maddison. However, an injury has hampered his first few weeks at the club.
The 26-year-old missed games against Everton and Newcastle due to an ankle injury which he suffered in training.
He will be hopeful of making his return to action on September 15 in the North London derby. Ahead of the clash with Arsenal, Solanke has been quizzed about his new teammates.
Solanke claims Harry Kane is the best finisher he has played with
Solanke claims that Harry Kane is the best finisher he has ever played with having worked alongside him for England.
When asked to name the best finisher at Tottenham, Solanke told Sky Sports: “I’d probably say Sonny. It’s something so rare to be that good on both right foot and left foot.
“Not many players in the world can do that. So to be that both footed and be great at finishing on both of them is incredible.”
When the striker was asked to rank Son in terms of the best finishers he’s played with for club or country, he revealed: “Obviously Harry Kane [is better than Son]. His finishing is just one of the best ever. You see that all the time. His finishing is just incredible.”
Will Solanke be fit for the North London derby?
Dominic Solanke is expected to overcome an ankle injury to be fit in time to face Arsenal in the North London derby.
The striker has missed Spurs’ last two matches and his presence up top has been greatly missed, especially against Newcastle.
Postecoglou’s side were very wasteful at St James’ Park and Solanke quite possibly could have been the difference maker.
Possible Tottenham line-up vs Arsenal (4-3-3): Vicario; Porro, Van de Ven, Romero, Udogie; Bissouma, Kulusevski, Sarr; Son, Johnson, Solanke.
