'Perfect' for Postecoglou - why Spurs have signed Solanke

Dominic Solanke will be hoping he can make it third time lucky.

After two previous attempts to make it at one of English football's leading clubs, Solanke's move to Spurs from Bournemouth, which could be worth up to £65m, provides him with another chance to prove he belongs on the biggest stage.

He was unable to the breakthrough he wanted as a youngster at Chelsea and Liverpool, but last season's prolific campaign with the Cherries established the 26-year-old as one of the country's leading forwards.

BBC Sport's Nizaar Kinsella said: "Bournemouth didn't want to sell but will feel the bid of £55m plus £10m add-ons they accepted represents the value of Solanke's £65m release clause.
