Transfer notebook: Tottenham target Premier League striker, to keep duo but Arsenal target could…..
Tottenham are one of the clubs contemplating a summer swoop for Bournemouth striker Dominic Solanke.
Solanke’s stock is high after scoring 19 Premier League goals this season and Cherries owner Bill Foley has admitted the club could cash in on the former Liverpool front-man this summer.

TalkSPORT is aware that a significant offer would be necessary to convince Solanke to leave the Dorset coast, though.
Richarlison is one of the players manager Ange Postecoglu is willing to let go in order to finance a rebuild after Spurs missed out on a Champions League spot. Spurs are searching for a new number nine.
Up until the summer of 2027, Solanke is bound to the Vitality Stadium by contract.
Net profit
Wolves are confident of keeping hold of key duo Joao Gomes and Rayan Ait-Nouri even if they expect to lose Pedro Neto.

Portugal winger Neto is on the radar of Manchester City, Tottenham, Arsenal and Newcastle and Wolves are willing to listen to offers of around £60million.
Ait-Nouri is another Molineux star attracting interest from clubs around Europe while Joao Gomes is on Manchester United’s long list of potential midfield targets.
But, talkSPORT has been told Wolves are not under any financial pressure to sell either Gomes nor Ait-Nouri and that manager Gary O’Neil is planning for next season with the pair very much in his ranks.
Bright solution
Even though Roberto de Zerbi tore up the last two years of his contract, Brighton will be reimbursed once the Italian gets himself straightened up with a new employment.
A release clause worth more than £10 million was included in De Zerbi’s now-canceled contract in case he was courted by another team.
TalkSPORT is aware that any team hoping to sign De Zerbi would still need to pay a fee to the Seagulls, with the amount determined on a sliding scale dependent on time, even if they agreed to an amicable parting of ways to allow the Italian to leave without a pay-off.
De Zerbi is one of Chelsea’s top targets following the departure of Mauricio Pochettino. He has been linked to Bayern Munich and AC Milan.
Murphy’s law
Josh Murphy, Oxford’s Wembley hero, is coveted by a number of Championship teams, including Derby and recently promoted Portsmouth.
Murphy, the twin of Newcastle’s star player Jacob, scored both goals as Oxford surprised everyone by defeating Bolton 2-0 in the League One play-off final on Saturday.
Murphy, a 29-year-old former star for Cardiff who cost the Bluebirds £11 million, is out of contract and Oxford knows they will have to fight to retain him.
