Transfer notebook: Tottenham eye up Premier League striker, Wolves expect to lose Arsenal target with Brighton to receive Roberto De Zerbi compensation

Tottenham are one of the clubs considering a move for Bournemouth striker Dominic Solanke in the summer.

Solanke’s tally is high after he scored 19 Premier League goals this season and Cherries owner Bill Foley has admitted the club could cash in on the former Liverpool frontman this summer.

Bournemouth striker Solanke is on Tottenham's radar after an impressive season — Bournemouth striker Solanke is on Tottenham’s radar after an impressive season.

However, The Pitch Prospect understands it will take a massive effort to keep Solanke away from the Dorset coast.

The Spurs are looking for a new number nine. One of the players is Richarlison. Manager Ange Postecoglu is ready to move on to fund a rebuild after missing out on a Champions League place.

Solanke is under contract at the Vitality Stadium until the summer of 2027.

Wolves are confident they can keep key duo Joao Gomes and Rayan Ait-Nouri, even if they expect to lose Pedro Neto.

Portuguese winger Neto is on the radar of Manchester City, Tottenham, Arsenal and Newcastle, and Wolves are willing to listen to offers worth around £60 million.

Ait-Nouri is another Molineux star attracting interest from clubs across Europe, while Joao Gomes is on Manchester United’s long list of potential midfield targets.

But The Pitch Prospect has been told that Wolves are under no financial pressure to sell Gomes or Ait-Nouri and that manager Gary O’Neil plans to have the pair firmly in his ranks next season.

O'Neil is aware that many of his players will be in demand in this summer's transfer window — O’Neil is aware that many of his players will be in demand in this summer’s transfer window.

Bright solution

Brighton will be compensated once Roberto de Zerbi finds a new job, even if the Italian opted out of the final two years of his contract.

De Zerbi’s now terminated contract contained a release clause of more than £10 million in the event he was poached by another club.

Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi criticizes referee Michael Salisbury for his decision not to award a penalty in the Chelsea defeat, admitting he didn’t like him.

The Pitch Prospect understands that any team wanting to sign the Italian will still have to pay the Seagulls a fee, despite having agreed an amicable separation to allow De Zerbi to leave without a severance payment.

De Zerbi has been linked with Bayern Munich and AC Milan, although it is likely he will take a short break from the game.

De Zerbi had two years left to run out of his contract at Brighton before he decided to step down.

Murphys Law

Oxford’s Wembley hero Josh Murphy is wanted by a number of Championship clubs including newly promoted Portsmouth and Derby.

Murphy scored both goals as Oxford beat Bolton 2-0 in the League One play-off final on Saturday.

Former Cardiff star Murphy, 29, who cost the Bluebirds £11million, is out of contract and Oxford know they face a battle to keep him.

Pompey boss John Mousinho played with Murphy at the Kassam Stadium, giving him a useful advantage in the race to sign him.
