Leeds United have signed Manor Solomon from Tottenham Hotspur on a season-long loan deal.
Spurs have done a really good job moving players out in this window. They released Tanguy Ndombele, Japhet Tanganga and Ryan Sessgnon, while the likes of Joe Rodon, Oliver Skipp and Emerson Royal have been sold.
Tottenham have loaned out Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Bryan Gil to Marseille and Girona respectively, and now, another one has joined the list.
Solomon completed his move to Leeds on loan on Tuesday.
Tottenham’s James Maddison sends message to Manor Solomon after Leeds loan move
Tottenham signed Solomon from Shakhtar Donetsk in the summer of 2023.
The 25-year-old had impressed in a loan spell across London at Fulham in the 2022/23 season, and that convinced Spurs to sign him when they had the chance.
Solomon, unfortunately, had a disastrous debut campaign.
The Israel international managed just six appearances for Spurs before suffering a serious injury that ruled him out for the rest of the season.
Solomon returned to full fitness over the summer, but he had no place in the Tottenham side to have any chance of getting regular game time.
So, Ange Postecoglou decided to loan him out, and Leeds United have signed a solid player as they aim to return to the Premier League.
Solomon took to Instagram to celebrate his move, and he received a lot of love in the replies below his post.
James Maddison wished him well by saying: “Good luck brother!”
Solomon’s future at Tottenham is at risk
When he’s fully fit, Solomon is a fantastic player.
The winger is quick, a good dribbler and he has the ability to score goals and provide assists. That’s the reason why Tottenham signed him in 2023.
Now, he is very far down Postecoglou’s pecking order, and unless he has an absolutely incredible season at Leeds United, we can’t see a way back for him in North London.
Tottenham were actually open to selling Solomon in this window.
It will be interesting to see how he will fare in the Championship. He definitely has the ability to become one of the best players in the division there.
