Premier League and La Liga clubs are reportedly showing interest in former Leeds United loanee Manor Solomon. It has been claimed that Tottenham Hotspur are aware of the interest in the Israeli forward and he could leave the North London club in the final weeks of the transfer window.
The 26-year-old netted 10 goals and provided 12 assists during the Whites' title-winning campaign last season as the Elland Road club returned to the top-flight after promotion from the Championship. Solomon played a key role in Daniel Farke's attack, helping end their short spell outside of the Premier League.
Journalist Fabrizio Romano has claimed that he could leave in the final weeks of the transfer window with clubs from England and Spain making contact over a possible move for the former Shakhtar Donetsk and Fulham attacker.
Whether Leeds make a move for his services remains to be seen but Farke has already outlined a lack of quality and strength in attacking areas.

"We are not naive," he said after their recent draw against Villarreal, via BBC Sport. "We know that even in comparison to our Championship offence you could say that we are not much improved.
"We know in the offence we are not ready for Premier League level. We've proven we can be ready for one game and for that I am not too concerned at the moment as it stands.
"I know especially with the offence, in the last bit you can add some quality. Of course, as a manager, you want all the players available on the first day of pre-season and to have training sessions with them because they need to adapt to the group and the principles. The shorter the time is to the first game the more difficult it is to integrate them and make them fully ready and up to speed.
"For that we still have time. We know we need additions to that. I also know we [are] all together and our key people who are responsible for spending the money are trying everything to make these additions as quick as possible. We are two weeks away from the first game. I can't guarantee that for the first game everything is really ready and we are fully equipped.
"We definitely have to make sure that, latest, after the first international break we have really a competitive squad for the Premier League. We are not anxious but fully aware we need to do something."
Farke doubled down on the claims from the Villarreal encounter, speaking after the recent draw with AC Milan in Ireland. He said: "In comparison to our Championship squad, we haven’t improved our offensive side."
"In order to be competitive for a long season, we definitely need signings for the offence - players who can score and assist. We are not prepared yet for the Premier League.
"We are prepared to be competitive for one or two games and we’re capable to play on a good level. We played well against AC Milan, Villarreal and Manchester United (in pre-season) but we’ve drawn those games so you need those types of players."
