Dominic Solanke has been called up to the England squad ahead of this month’s international break.

The 27-year-old became Spurs’ most expensive-ever signing after completing a £65 million transfer from Bournemouth in the summer.

And although the pressure was on the former Cherry to perform after being tasked with replacing Harry Kane’s output, Solanke has started life in London well.

England squad: Dominic Solanke called up

Directly involved in four goals from his first six appearances including netting Spurs’ third against Manchester United last weekend, Solanke is building a strong relationship with the likes of Brennan Johnson and Son Heung-min.

And rewarding him for his fine form, interim England boss Lee Carlsey, according to David Ornstein, has called the Basingstoke-born hitman up to represent the Three Lions ahead of their next two Nations League matches later this month.

Solanke made his England debut under former manager Gareth Southgate at the end of 2017 with his substitute cameo against Brazil during a 0-0 draw his only senior appearance.
