Tottenham manager, Ange Postecoglou has come out to admit that the club had interest in Ivan Toney before signing Dominic Solanke in a £65m deal. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, even if Toney was looked at in the summer, Solanke was the preferred option because he fits the striker profile the club wanted.
Ange added that people shouldn’t rush with their assessment of Solanke this early in the season.
His words, “We did look at him [Toney] but Dom was the one we wanted that fitted the profile we were looking for at the time.”
On Solanke, “Just take a breath, do a little bit of yoga, think about the world for a second and then make an assessment after. We don’t have to rush to make a judgement all the time because the alternative is he may have got off to a great start, he is fit, scored in all four games, is flying and then he goes through a patch like all strikers where he doesn’t score.
I just don’t look at those things. What I look at is he has come in, fitted really well and quite logically has picked up an injury that has disrupted the way he wanted to start his career, but he’s still got plenty of time for that.”
WOW.
