Solanke admits that reaching the final is one of the reasons he joined Tottenham from Bournemouth last summer. "When you're at a big club, you always want to fight for silverware," he said. "We have the chance to do that in a few weeks, and we'll need to prepare well."
The striker also reflected on his move to Tottenham, which was worth £50m last summer. He said that the price tag created some pressure, but he sees it as a privilege. "In the league, we could have done better," he said. "But in a European tournament, we're close to winning the trophy, and everyone is excited about it."
Tottenham will now face Manchester United in the Europa League final at the end of the month. Solanke said that the final means everything to the players, staff, and fans. "We've put in good performances in Europe, and we've gotten to this stage," he said. "Now, we can enjoy the game and try to win it."
The team has been focused and stuck together throughout the season, despite some tough games. Solanke said that the vibes in the dressing room are high, and everyone is looking forward to the final.
