Leeds United are in the mix for Tottenham Hotspur attacker Manor Solomon with reports emerging just hours after Leeds struck a deal for Almeria’s Largie Ramazani.
Ramazani, 23, has arrived in England from Spain after a £10m deal was agreed between The Whites and recently-relegated Almeria. Belgium U21 star Ramazani had entered the final year of his Almeria deal.
Exciting winger Ramazani is set to put pen to paper on a four-year deal at Leeds, as Daniel Farke’s side finally make a move a month after their last signing in the form of Jayden Bogle from Sheffield United.
But Leeds are not done there with new reports of players being linked with Leeds emerging by the hour. The latest is Tottenham’s Israel international Solomon, who is on the comeback trail after a torn meniscus.
What Postecoglou has said about Solomon’s future this month
Solomon moved to England in the summer of 2022 initially on loan from Shakhtar Donetsk, joining Fulham. He scored five goals in 24 games for The Cottagers, including an FA Cup goal against Leeds.
It saw him earn a move to Tottenham but after just six appearances last season, he picked up a horrific knee injury. Now fit, Leeds are eyeing a move for Solomon ahead of the deadline on August 30.
Postecoglou commented on the future of Solomon earlier this month, in quotes published by Football London. He said: “Those things are in the player’s hands, where they see themselves and what they want.

“That doesn’t mean things won’t change and you have to embrace and accept that. Whether they think that this is the right place to progress. I’ve always respected that those decisions come down to them.”
Where does Solomon fit into Daniel Farke’s starting XI?
There is no doubt that a player of Solomon’s quality should be starting in a Championship side. Leeds may only have a chance of nabbing the Spurs star because of his injury, but he would be a top signing.
So, with Ramazani incoming and both Dan James and Wilfried Gnonto still at Leeds, where does the Spurs ace fit? The chances are, Farke is going to have to make some difficult decisions in the next few weeks.
This is of course, if Solomon does join. While James and Ramazani are wingers, Gnonto has experience of playing as a no.10 and Solomon’s top-tier quality and creativity could see him play in that role, too.
