Since Harry Kane left, there has not been a centre forward who is capable of adapting to that position. Postecoglou He has tried many players in that position such as Son, Madisson, Kulusevski or Richarlinson. But None of these have been able to adapt mainly because they are not their natural positions. Spurs reinforced last winter with Timo Werner but they were unable to fill Kane’s void.
The player who has adapted best has been Son. The Tottenham captain plays most of his games as a left winger, but last season he had to adapt his position to play as a centre forward. The Korean striker loses his explosiveness and ability to run in that position, but he still put in some very good numbers.
The Spurs started the transfer market with a clear idea and the search for a centre forward. Other options that were on the table in the London team’s board of directors were Ivan Toney and Viktor Gyökeres but they opted for Solanke.
As for numbers in the 22/23 season he got six goals and seven assists but last season he got more than nineteen goals and three assists in the Premier League. Solanke started the first league match against Leicester but did not have the debut he had dreamed of. The following week the club issued a statement announcing the injury of the English player, which was an ankle injury. The English striker’s debut as a goal scorer is eagerly awaited and he is expected to achieve good numbers with the Spurs.
