Their opening approach, worth £75million, fell well short of the Magpies' valuation.[/p][p]Newcastle have made it clear they are under no pressure to sell and insist it would take £100million to begin serious negotiations, leaving Tottenham weighing up a club-record deal that would eclipse the £65million they paid for [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/solanke-dominic/OrADwZse/"]Dominic Solanke[/a].[/p][p][b]Despite that stance, Tottenham are expected to return with a fresh proposal.
