Manor Solomon was a vital asset to Leeds United in their promotion push this season.
Daniel Farke’s side secured a return to the Premier League for the first time since the 2022-23 campaign and they could not have done so without the Tottenham loanee.
Focus now turns to the transfer market and a permanent deal for the Israel star could be on the cards, with Spurs reportedly willing to sell.

Leeds tipped to make Solomon move permanent
The Elland Road outfit are keen to bring the Spurs star back to LS11 to help them try to survive in the top-flight.
However, they face competition from Ligue 1 outfit Marseille, who are also interested in the 25-year-old’s services.

TV Commentator Ian Darke believes that the Israel international should choose Yorkshire over a move to the French side.
Speaking exclusively to MOT Leeds News, he said: “He’s not proven in the Premier League, he is not an established Premier League player but nobody is at one point in their career.
“So, it is a calculation they have to make, they have looked at him, they have seen him play, maybe he makes the step up and the price is right, it is probably a doable deal.
“If I was him, I would choose to play in the Premier League and stay at Leeds over Marseille every day of the week.
“I don’t know what Marseille might be offering him, it depends what kind of man he is, whether he fancies that kind of adventure.”

Solomon should choose Leeds over Marseille
The decision is a no-brainer, Solomon already has a connection with the Whites supporters and the players, so he would not need to adjust to a new team.
The 49ers are set to back Farke significantly in the transfer market, so a sum of that should be allocated to secure the left winger.
Stats (Championship) Solomon
Matches 39
Goals 10
Assists 12
Minutes played 2,605
Solomon’s stats this season.
He notched 10 goals and 12 assists in 39 Championship matches and without him, the Peacocks would have struggled to gain promotion.
His experience in the top-flight, although limited, he has made just 24 appearances, may be vital to them staying up next season.
