Bobby Zamora has backed Dominic Solanke to thrive at Tottenham once Roberto De Zerbi’s system is fully established, insisting the striker’s lack of chances rather than lack of ability is holding him back.
Solanke has scored once in seven games across all competitions this season. Zamora, who made 247 Premier League appearances, believes De Zerbi’s current focus on defensive structure and build-up play means the final third has yet to be properly honed. “The final third, which is the hardest part of the game to do, will be focused on at some stage,” Zamora told football.london. “I think his fundamentals and basics are probably taking up a lot of the time in training; Solanke will thrive when everything is finally there.”
With Richarlison exiled from the squad after requesting to leave, Solanke and Omar Marmoush are Tottenham’s primary strikers. Zamora expects whichever striker scores first to cement his starting role. “It’s a good opportunity currently for them to stake their claim,” he added. Tottenham face Manchester United after the international break.
