Igor Tudor tasked to ‘unlock’ 28-year-old Tottenham star if the club wants PL stability

The star in question will look to make his mark for Tottenham under Igor Tudor’s guidance.

Tottenham forward Dominic Solanke was unfortunate to miss the first half of the season after suffering an ankle injury during pre-season. The England international was initially ruled out for a few weeks, with Thomas Frank hopeful of seeing him return before the first international break. However, repeated setbacks in his recovery meant that the 28-year-old was forced to remain on the sidelines until the turn of the year.

It is fair to say that Solanke has excelled since returning to first-team action earlier last month. He has settled into a prominent role in the final third and emerged as one of the standout players for Thomas Frank during the latter stages of the Danish tactician’s tenure at N17. The England international has offered a different dynamic in attack and has comfortably replaced both Richarlison and Randal Kolo Muani in the starting eleven.

Since his return from injury, Solanke has scored four goals in his last eight matches across all competitions. He has shown strong movement to get into goal-scoring positions and has injected much-needed energy into the final third. His most impressive display of the season came earlier this month when Spurs hosted Manchester City, with the England international netting a brace to secure an unlikely 2-2 draw.

Igor Tudor must correctly utilise Tottenham star Dominic Solanke

Tottenham fans will be hoping that Dominic Solanke can continue his goal-scoring form under Igor Tudor in the coming months. The Lilywhites are staring at the possibility of a relegation battle in the Premier League as they look to rediscover winning form. Therefore, it is crucial that Tudor brings the best out of his players, including his key attacker Solanke.

Michael Lahoud has echoed those sentiments, expressing his desire to see the 28-year-old play a pivotal role in the starting eleven under the Croatian tactician. Speaking on CBS Sports (via X), Lahoud said,

“Tudor needs to unlock Dominic Solanke. Tottenham, right now, need someone to score goals. And the Solanke that we saw against Man City, that is the player that Spurs fans want to see more often. And he should not be injured.”
