    Comparing Solanke's positioning with Celtic's Kyogo is smart. Most English "analysts" haven't taken the time to look at Ange's previous teams, all of which required a front foot, finish in the box forward. Besart Berisha in Brisbane, Junior at Yokohama and Kyogo Furuhashi at Celtic. And when Ange was asked after a game about Kyogo's goals, he would instead reference the strikers pressing and off the ball runs. Solanke is soooo an Ange system forward.

No league compares to the EPL for pace and skill, and I say that as an Aussie who thinks England’s only real achievements are football, the 1944 Education Act, the NHS, Rowan Atkinson and Zadie Smith. You cannot operate a league in a vacuum. It has to be dynamic and when was the last time an English manager won anything ? You can condemn Ange now, and perhaps you’ll be right and the sheer weight of the EPL will defeat him. But those of us who’ve watched him since 1991, and seen him earn silverware in all but one contest, understand that strategy and challenge drive him. He’s only ever walked away from political interference, never from football challenge. You risk the EPL if you wish to keep all immigrants out. Well, not all obviously, some are okay.

    Great signing. I think he'll be buy of the season. He's the closest striker to Kane, in terms of hold up play and positioning. He's obviously not another Kane in terms of finishing passing and numbers hes reached, but his pressing ability and pace to get behind are better than Kane's and he'll do really well with the supply he's given from spurs wingers... I dont think there is a better striker available for that sort of money, good signing, just what the team needs. Neither Son or Richie can hold the ball up like Kane or Solanke, its been a major weakness since Kane left

    I think it wasn't addressed that Solanke is the epithome of a one season wonder so far.
    Last season might had been a flash in a pan and there is very little evidence to show that he's actually PL standard forward.
    I wish him all the best, and been somewhat of a fan since his Chelsea youth team days, but that 65m is quite steep for a 26 year old with a underwhelming career.

      Yes. Pure scoring stats shouldn't be seen as be all, end all and Solanke has always has had an impact to game beyond his scoring with his intelligent movement and great work rate, but we can't escape the fact that his finishing has been absolutely atrocius when getting the scoring chances prior last season.
      Only a true fool or a Joker would disregard these warning signs.

    I actually disagree with this. I don't see how that improves the team if that costs Son who's the best finisher by forcing him to be stuck on the touchline. He had 27GA playing mostly as a striker despite he didn't really have a quality winger to support him while he was playing as a striker. Solanke is nowhere near a finisher Son is and it's not like he's better at link up play, playing through balls to feed the players around him which Son is also best at. If you want a bigger, stronger, better in the air centre forward for an extra defensive weapon, Real Madrid might as well have gone for Solanke as their striker instead of Mbappe but that's not how it works. And the heatmap of Son against Burnley shown in the video is cherrypicked. It just shows the team wasn't building up well from the back and solid enough for Son to stay up front. If you look at the heatmap of Son in the away match against Burnley where he scored a hattrick, it's completely different.

    Nice video but I'm a bit disappointed. The comparison with a Spurs player should have focussed on Richarlison. He is Spurs' 1st choice 9. (By the way Kulusevski almost never played on the left). Your video showed that Son is not a 9 for a possession side, which Spurs watchers already knew. Your conclusions were really strong because the question you asked was an easy one. A more nuanced story would emerge if you compare per minute stats of Solanke and Richarlison. A comparison between them would have been much more interesting (obviously accounting for fitness too).
