Dominic Solanke is a 바카라top pro바카라 who is exactly what Tottenham expected when they paid big money to sign him from Bournemouth, so says Ange Postecoglou. (More Football News)
Spurs splurged a club-record fee 바카라 reportedly up to £65million 바카라 on Solanke, who scored 19 Premier League goals for the Cherries last season.
Solanke could be in line to make his Tottenham debut on Monday, when Spurs open their Premier League campaign away at newly promoted Leicester City.
And Postecoglou spoke highly of his new addition.
"Thankfully, it's what we expected,바카라 said the Australian.
바카라He's a top pro and a good guy 바카라 he's settled into the dressing room really well.
바카라Football-wise you can see he has all the attributes we need. We've still got a couple of training sessions to go but he's doing well.바카라
While Postecoglou confirmed Spurs will have a full squad to choose from, bar the suspended Yves Bissouma, at the King Power Stadium, hosts Leicester are not as fortunate.
Steve Cooper, who is preparing for his first league match in charge of the Foxes, confirmed Patson Daka was set for a spell on the sidelines after suffering an injury against Lens in pre-season, with the striker set for a long spell out.
바카라Patson [Daka] obviously is not great news,바카라 Cooper said. 바카라He suffered quite a serious ankle injury last week in the game in Lens and he is going to be out for a good few months.
바카라He바카라s having an operation. That바카라s really unfortunate for him because he was looking good in pre-season.바카라
Jamie Vardy is also absent.
Cooper, whose last Premier League game was a 2-0 home defeat to Tottenham in December last year with Nottingham Forest, added: 바카라Vards, similarly, he바카라s been injured since the second week of pre-season now, when we were on one of our pre-season camps.
"He바카라s closer to returning but it will be a little while, although he바카라s itching to get back. But it바카라s not great at that end of the pitch.
바카라He바카라s right at the latter stages of rehab now and just making sure he can fight past those final stages before he returns. With experience and age a little bit, he really understands his body and he knows what it takes.바카라
PLAYERS TO WATCH
Leicester City 바카라 Stephy Mavididi
Mavididi scored 12 league goals for Leicester in their push for promotion last term, a tally bettered only by Vardy (18). The winger created 72 chances, providing six assists. Only Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, who has since joined Chelsea, crafted more goalscoring opportunities (109) for the Foxes.
Tottenham 바카라 Son Heung-min
Son has been involved in 13 goals in 14 Premier League appearances against Leicester (nine goals, four assists), only having a hand in more against Southampton (15). Indeed, the South Korean has scored five and assisted once in his last three against the Foxes.
MATCH PREDICTION: TOTTENHAM WIN
Leicester have lost half of their Premier League games played on Mondays (21/42) 바카라 only in Friday games do the Foxes have a higher loss rate in the competition (61.5% 바카라 8/13).
Tottenham바카라s last four Premier League wins of 2023-24 came against each of the sides to finish in the bottom four (Forest, Luton Town, Burnley, Sheffield United). They won all six of their league games against promoted sides last term, accounting for 30% of their overall victories (6/20).
This is the seventh time Tottenham are starting their Premier League campaign against a promoted side; they have won five of the previous six, losing the other 1-0 against Sunderland in 2007-08.
However, Leicester are unbeaten on the last nine occasions they have begun their league campaign with a home game (W6 D3).
Expect goals in this one. Of all Premier League fixtures to have been played at least 30 times, Leicester against Tottenham has the highest goals-per-game average (3.8 바카라 128 goals in 34 games). There have been 28 goals scored in the last five meetings between the sides alone (5.6 per game).
Spurs have only failed to score in one of their 17 Premier League away games against Leicester, a 3-0 loss at Filbert Street in September 1997.
