Manor Solomon says Leeds United's promotion to the Premier League is exactly why he came to the club, to be able to celebrate that achievement. The Tottenham Hotspur man is on loan for the season and admits he took a risk coming to the Championship, but feels it has more than been justified now.
Solomon could well find himself back in the Premier League next season with Leeds, with talk of the Whites striking a potential deal with Spurs to keep hold of the popular winger. Tottenham appear ready to let the player depart, but much will depend on the terms of any deal.
For now, Solomon is celebrating the achievement of promotion and has made it clear how proud he is to have played his part in what has been a record-breaking season with a 94-point haul already in the bag.
“This is why I came. I'm so happy to see everyone celebrating," Solomon told LUTV. "We have worked so hard all season. We just want to celebrate.
"I was taking a risk but as you can see it paid off. I'm really proud to have played for Leeds. This season has been a rollercoaster, so so exciting. I'm so happy right now I can't find the words. We will sum it up at the end of the season.
"We had some ups and downs but we didn't stop for a minute, kept pushing all the time. I've enjoyed it so much, every single minute with these fans and players. We deserve it.”
