Ian Wright’s Shock Prediction for the Premier League Season
The Premier League season is just around the corner, and with it comes the usual mix of excitement, anticipation, and debate. While most fans and pundits are busy predicting the top four or who will lift the title, one former Arsenal legend has made a bold prediction that will surely ruffle a few feathers.
Ian Wright, a legend at the Emirates, has named Tottenham Hotspur’s latest signing, Dominic Solanke, as the most likely player to be the "signing of the season" at a whopping £65 million. The striker, who bagged 19 goals in the Premier League last season, made the switch to Spurs from Bournemouth.
Wright believes that Solanke’s move to Tottenham is a shrewd one, citing his consistent goal-scoring record and injury-free season as reasons why he thinks the Nigerian international will excel in North London.
"He doesn’t get injured, he scores goals," Wright explained on Stick to Football. "I like that move for them and I think he could be a good signing."
However, not everyone agrees with Wright’s assessment. Fellow guest Jamie Carragher argued that Solanke’s quiet nature could be a major obstacle to success at a big club like Tottenham.
"I look at players, and sometimes when you make the move to a big club – take your personality, you go into the Arsenal dressing room, you’re a character straight away – but [Dominic Solanke] looks shy to me," Carragher said.
Solanke’s move to Tottenham has already caused a stir in the football world, and with the new season just around the corner, we’ll soon find out if Wright’s prediction comes true.
Tottenham kicks off their Premier League campaign away at Leicester on Monday, August 19. Will Solanke prove to be the signing of the season, or will he struggle to adjust to life at a big club?
