Manor Solomon is set to be a wanted man this summer after an impressive season at Leeds United with the Championship side set to make their own decision on a permanent deal once their promotion status is settled.

Solomon has enjoyed another big week at the Premier League-chasing side with an assist in Leeds' 1-0 win at Middlesbrough on Tuesday night and then the 25-year-old scored after just four minutes and provided another assist nine minutes later on Saturday in the 2-1 victory against Preston at Elland Road.

The tricky Spurs winger has racked up 10 assists and eight goals in 37 matches so far for Leeds and has become one of the first names on Daniel Farke's team sheet.

Leeds Live reported this week that a decision would not be made on whether Farke's side would make a permanent move for the Israel international until the club's promotion fate was settled. Leeds are currently top of the Championship table on goal difference above Burnley, with both sides five points clear of third-placed Sheffield United with four games of the regular season to go.

Spurs dealt with Leeds last summer in the transfer market as Archie Gray and Joe Rodon moved in different directions as well as negotiating the Solomon loan deal.

football.london understands that Solomon would certainly consider a move to Leeds if they got promoted after enjoying his time at the West Yorkshire club. However, there is also expected to be further interest in him this summer from Premier League sides as well as more from abroad which could give both Tottenham and the winger plenty to think about.

There is also the prospect of a new manager at Spurs next season with Ange Postecoglou's future the subject of plenty of speculation and any new head coach might want to look at Solomon first before deciding on the future for a player who has a contract until 2028 with the north London outfit.

Solomon said in an interview back in January with The Athletic that he is waiting to see what the future holds.

"I love it here," he said. "I love the fans. I love the club. I love the players, the manager. Especially now, I’m really enjoying it and I love living here. Of course, it’s different to London, less things to do and we have less friends here. All the Israelis, they live in London, but we found our place here.

"You can’t predict what will happen in the future, whether I come back to Tottenham, whether I go to a different team, or whether I stay here in Leeds, you can’t predict it, but, of course, for me, the door is really open."
