Tottenham should be much more competitive this year than last season, despite participating in a more demanding European competition, the Champions League. Why? Thomas Frank will manage resources more intelligently, unlike the “all-attack” football promoted by Ange Postecoglou. This does not mean that Spurs will be more defensive, but simply more balanced: they will manage their energy better and, ideally, reduce injuries. During Frank’s tenure at Brentford, his Bees were eighth in the Premier League for goals scored in 2022/23 and fifth in 2024/25, which bodes well for a team like Tottenham, already very productive in attack.
Despite an injury-hit 2024/25 season (which ended with nine goals), Solanke found his form late on, scoring in five of his last six starts.
Statistically, he recorded 0.45 xG per 90 minutes, a solid but not exceptional figure, but close to the 0.53 he achieved in the 2023/24 season, when he scored 19 goals and rewarded those who bet on him in the each-way market for the top scorer. Not to mention that in the 2021/22 Championship, he scored 29 goals, proving that he can be prolific when healthy and consistent.Coach Frank knows how to get the best out of his strikers, and the numbers confirm this: Ivan Toney (20 goals in 2022/23), Yoane Wissa (19 goals in 2024/25), Bryan Mbeumo (20 goals in 2024/25). Another positive aspect of this gamble is that Solanke could become the penalty taker, especially now that Heung-min Son has announced his departure. Solanke took three penalties between the league and Europa League last season and scored them all.
