Tottenham pushing for shock £50m deadline day signing – that could infuriate Mikel Arteta: report

Tottenham Hotspur want to spring one more surprise before the transfer window slams shut, potentially at the expense of bitter rivals, Arsenal.

The Lilywhites have been the busiest of the so-called Big Six this winter, bringing in defender Radu Dragusin from Genoa and signing former Chelsea forward Timo Werner on loan. Reports have indicated that Antonio Nusa and Conor Gallagher are still wanted by Ange Postecoglou. 

But as one of few big English clubs with the spending power to act before the end of the transfer window, they could well strike a blow to Mikel Arteta by poaching one of his targets.

According to The Sun, Tottenham want to bring in striker Dominic Solanke before the deadline, paying £50 million for the in-form Bournemouth No.9.
