Eventually, he left the club due to his injury. The man who loved Son Heung-min is rarely active at Tottenham.
The BBC reported on the 30th (Korea time) 'Tottenham striker Dominic Solanke underwent minor surgery to treat his ankle injury'
The BBC reported that Solanke did not attend the training session after the match against Manchester City. Frank said at a press conference that he had been trained. Frank was asked about Solanke's physical condition during a pre-press conference ahead of the European Champions League stage match against Vaud Glimt.

Frank said "Solanke had suffered for a while from an ankle problem. Now we've decided to have a light operation. It's a small operation. You will know the specific timing after the A match period. I don't think it will take very long.'
Solanke transferred to Tottenham in the summer of 2024 with a record transfer fee of 65 million pounds (about 120 billion won). At the time of recruitment, there were not a few evaluations that it was a transfer fee worth sufficient investment. After Harry Kane's departure, Tottenham desperately needed a front-line striker as they failed to fill the front-line vacancy properly.
He was a steady player on the England stage. However, the EPL stage needed verification. In the 2021-2022 season, he scored 29 goals and 7 assists in 46 Championship League games, but in the 2022-2023 season, he only scored 6 goals and 7 assists in 33 games in the EPL. Nevertheless, he grew steadily, and Solanke showed off his scoring ability by scoring 21 goals for Bournemouth in the 2023-2024 season. It was clear why Tottenham wanted it. Tottenham did not spare their investment because they proved their ability to score on the EPL stage.

He is one of the players who also showed strong affection for Son Heung-min. He also expressed his affection through his personal SNS. Solanke runs an SNS account that discloses his collection. He also revealed the uniforms he collected in exchange during his career, showing affection by putting a single uniform on top. It was Son Heung-min's uniform, the former captain. He spread it out on top and made it clear that it was his most favorite outfit among the uniforms he convened.
But Solanke's life at Tottenham was not easy. The problem was injury. Solanke at Tottenham has been struggling steadily with injuries and has not been able to perform properly. This season also entered the season with injuries, and has hardly played time. Recently, the recurrence of injuries continued to surgery, making it impossible to play for the time being. Considering that there are many competitors from Hishalysong, Matisse Tel and Randal Colomuagenge this season, it is difficult to guarantee that Solanke will be able to play as a starting player after his injury. It's been a difficult time for Solanke.
