British media 'mirror' reported on the 29th (Korea time) 'Solanke unveiled his private conversation with Kane in the Tottenham dressing room'
England star striker Kane left Tottenham for Bayern in the summer of 2023. Tottenham have signed Solanke as a striker to replace Kane. Solanke is Kane's successor. Tottenham spent a whopping 65 million pounds (about 113 billion won) on Solanke's transfer. This is Tottenham's highest ever.
Solanke was asked in a pre-official press conference ahead of Manchester United's away match if it was burdensome to be a Kane successor. Tottenham will play an away game against Manchester United in the sixth round of the Premier League in 2024-2025 at 0:30 a.m. on the 30th (Korea Standard Time) in Old Trafford, Manchester, England.
Solanke is "No, it's not. Kane is Kane. No one would want to replace him anyway. He said, "World Classes."
Solanke said "I want to score as many goals as I can for Tottenham. I want to win a lot" he wished.
The Mirror said that Solanke was congratulated by Kane on the day the transfer was confirmed. He said he reassured Tottenham were the perfect club.
Solanke said "I actually saw him (Kane) when Bayern came here during the pre-season. Kane came into the locker room. I talked to him. He clearly said only good things about the club. I'm sure everyone expected it. He praised Spurs very much for how good the players and staff are.
The Mirror said 'Tottenham, who lost Kane, were not as grim as they thought. During the week, he defeated Karabakh 3-0 in the Europa League amid Solanke's performance. I'm confident that Solanke can break down Erik tenhach's (Manchester United) unconvincing defense.

Solanke also burned his desire for a national team.
For Solanke, Tottenham is not the only source of inspiration. He has a dream to achieve at the international level. Solanke played for the under-17 and under-20 national teams, but he last played for the A team in 2017, almost seven years ago. He illuminated that he planned to correct it.
Solanke said "Obviously I want to come back. If you play for a club like Tottenham, there is a high possibility. My main goal is, of course, to score a goal and win here, but then I'll be able to get back into the England team."
Solanke is likely to start against Manchester United in the sixth round. Son Heung-min is concerned about a hamstring injury, so it is unclear whether he will play or not.
According to the Evening Standard, Tottenham manager Enze Postecoglou "Everyone is fine except for Sonny. Sonny isn't in that bad shape either. He wants to train himself. I don't know how to come out of the last training session`I wanted Son Heung-min to play.
