Leeds United are set to sign Manor Solomon from Tottenham Hotspur
Last season, Tottenham Hotspur did something that probably no one would have expected a few years ago. Under the leadership of Ange Postecoglou, the team won the Europa League final and defeated Manchester United to secure a UEFA Champions League ticket for next season. Now, in the ongoing summer transfer window, there have been changes, and with Thomas Frank as the new manager, the club have moved in a different direction. The club have already added Mohammed Kudus and Mathys Tel to the squad to maintain the edge of the attacking game even after the departure of Son Heung-min.
Spurs have seen ups and downs in the last few years in the Premier League, but the team have learned to respond on big occasions. Last season’s final is the most recent proof of this attitude. With a return to the Champions League, both pressure and expectations will increase. There is depth in the squad, but some positions are so crowded that the management will have to make stern decisions. It is clear from Thomas Frank’s initial plans that some names may move out of the squad.
The situation is clear regarding Manor Solomon
An interesting twist in Tottenham’s preparations for the new season has come regarding Manor Solomon’s future. Thomas Frank recently mentioned Brennan Johnson, Wilson Odobert and Mathys Tel in the list of left-wing options in an interview with Football.London, but did not name Solomon. This news could be important for Leeds United, as they are already interested in signing Solomon. Former Leeds and England goalkeeper Paul Robinson believes that Leeds should take advantage of this opportunity.

The 26-year-old left-winger has a contract with Tottenham until 2028, but there are already players like Johnson, Kudus, Odobert, Richarlison and Tel on the left and right wings. Robinson believes that this overload may force Tottenham to sell someone from this position, and Leeds now have a chance to sign the Israeli player.
“I’d really like to think so, because he was an integral part of everything [Leeds] did last year. The problem is, he’s contracted to Tottenham until 2028, so they’re going to have to pay a decent fee to get him, and I don’t suspect they’ll be the only ones looking at him.
“That’s an area of the squad that Tottenham are so heavily oversubscribed in anyway – you look at the players that they’ve got, I think there’ll be some movement from Tottenham going out anyway.
“Johnson, Kudus, Odobert, Richarlison, Tel – they can all play in these wide attacking areas. Maddison’s out for a long time, but I don’t think that affects the future of Manor Solomon.
“If Leeds can get that deal done, that will be a really big, important player for them joining into next year.”
Opinion:
We think this could be Manor Solomon’s last month in London. Thomas Frank’s refusal to name him publicly is a clear indication that he is not in their primary plans. Tottenham have so many options in the wide attack that the departure of one of them will not affect the momentum of the team. New names like Kudus and Tel have already brought excitement to the squad, and young talents like Brennan Johnson or Odobert are ready to move on.
This deal could be beneficial for Leeds United, as Solomon was key to their performance last season. It would be a sensible move for Tottenham, bringing balance to the squad and creating space for the future. We are pretty sure both clubs will benefit if he moves to Leeds, and Spurs will step into the new season with no regrets.
