Tottenham Hotspur have made a decision on Dominic Solanke’s future at the club ahead of the January window.In the club’s recent meeting with the Fan Advisory Board, Tottenham CEO Vinai Venkatesham stressed the need for Spurs to become better sellers in the market.The Spurs chief pointed out that it was important to sell players at the right time in order for the club to compete financially for elite players, pointing out that the PSR restrictions are a genuine constraint for the Lilywhites.Given that statement, one would think the North London club would be open to moving on players like Solanke in January, but that turns out not to be the case.Credit: @thatfootballphotog / InstagramTottenham will not greenlight Dominic Solanke’s exit in JanuaryFootball Insider have now claimed that Solanke will find his exit route blocked in January, due to the decision made over Richarlison’s future.The outlet confirms that the Brazilian will be sold in January after being left out of the club’s Premier League squad, and that the Lilywhites will replace him with another striker.However, the feeling at the North London club is that they cannot afford to let Solanke leave in January even if another number nine comes through the door.In fact, it is revealed that the former Bournemouth man remains part of the ‘long-term plans’ at Tottenham.Former Spurs scout believes De Zerbi needs competition for places upfrontWhen Football Insider put their information to former Spurs scout, Bryan King, he was in agreement that the Lilywhites cannot afford to cash in on Solanke.He suggested that even though the England international has suffered major injuries recently, De Zerbi will not want to limit his options upfront.King said: “Any new striker who came in would be more for competition for places in that Tottenham team at the moment. You’ve got to remember Tottenham are short of forward options right now because of what’s happened with Richarlison, he is now out of the picture.“They can’t afford to let Solanke leave in January as a result of that, because then they would be left really short up front and De Zerbi doesn’t want that. Solanke has struggled with injuries in recent times, I think that’s been the thing that’s held him back, but I don’t think there will be any immediate plans to cut their losses on Solanke.”READ MORE: Tottenham could trigger transfer domino that earns them extra Luka Vuskovic feeThe post Tottenham make Dominic Solanke transfer decision for January after goal against Man United appeared first on Spurs Web.
