Leeds United have signed Manor Solomon from Tottenham Hotspur on a season-long loan.
Spurs have done an excellent job of transferring players out this window. They freed Tanguy Ndombele, Japhet Tanganga, and Ryan Sessgnon, but sold Joe Rodon, Oliver Skipp, and Emerson Royal.
Tottenham have already leased Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Bryan Gil to Marseille and Girona, respectively, and now another player has joined the list.
Solomon joined Leeds on loan on Tuesday.
Tottenham’s James Maddison delivers a message to Manor Solomon following the Leeds loan move.
Spurs recruited Solomon from Shakhtar Donetsk in the summer of 2023.
The 25-year-old shone during a loan spell at Fulham in London in the 2022/23 season, which persuaded Spurs to sign him when the opportunity presented itself.
Solomon, sadly, had a dismal debut season.
The Israel international made just six games for Spurs before sustaining a catastrophic injury that sidelined him for the rest of the season.
Solomon regained full fitness over the summer, but he had no position in Tottenham’s squad to play regularly.
So Ange Postecoglou chose to loan him away, and Leeds United has signed a strong player as they look to return to the Premier League.
Solomon headed to Instagram to celebrate his move, and he received a lot of love in the comments.
James Maddison said, “Good luck, brother!”
Solomon’s future at Tottenham is at risk.
Solomon is an excellent player when completely fit.
The winger is speedy, dribbles well, and can both score and assist. That is why Spurs signed him in 2023.
Now, he is far down Postecoglou’s pecking order, and unless he has a truly spectacular season at Leeds United, we don’t see him returning to North London.
Tottenham were open to selling Solomon during this window.
It will be intriguing to see how he performs in the Championship. He undoubtedly has the potential to be one of the finest players in the division.
