Premier League backed to land Tottenham man for a reasonable price

Leeds United could end up with Tottenham Hotspur star Manor Solomon this summer

Tottenham had a forgettable season last season in the Premier League, but did manage to win the Europa League to qualify for the Champions League in 2025/26. There was some spark early on under Ange Postecoglou, but as injuries mounted and form dropped, the team lost momentum in the Premier League. Some big names showed promise in 2024/25, but the squad balance was lacking. Then, in the summer, Thomas Frank was appointed as the new manager, who made a name for himself at Brentford with his clear tactics and stable game plan. Now Frank faces a big challenge: trimming down this huge squad and giving the club a new direction.

Tottenham have spent money in this summer window. Meanwhile, there is a plethora of options, especially on the wings and in attacking midfield. With Son Heung-min still the leader, Richarlison, Mathys Tel and Wilson Odobert are also competing in the same position; it seems necessary to remove some names from the squad. This is the backdrop for a player who already seems to be on the sidelines at the club.

Leeds interest: Solomon back at Elland Road?

TBR Football reporter Graeme Bailey has revealed that Leeds United still like Manor Solomon. He played a key role in winning the Championship on loan last season – hardly anyone will forget the winning goal against Plymouth on the last day. According to the report, Leeds are waiting to see if Solomon is not a priority in the Tottenham squad for the first few matches, so they can complete the deal for around £15 million.

“I think there’s a very good chance after a couple of games once we get into the start of the season and Solomon sees he’s not first choice at Spurs and involved — I think we could see him at Leeds.

“Leeds still like him an awful lot, I think there’s a very good chance Solomon still ends up at Elland Road.

“For the sake of Leeds going for their second choice, they may as well hang on. They wanted Solomon and he’s not going to be particularly expensive. So I think he is in their minds.”

Solomon is fast, plays direct and has the ability to surprise in big matches. Although injuries have slowed him down, he was in ‘unplayable’ mode at Leeds last season. On the left wing, the Israeli brings attacking momentum and a knack for stretching defences. However, at Tottenham, the 26-year-old is just not finding his place in the pack. Meanwhile, we reported earlier that even Burnley want him.

Tottenham must move on

In our opinion, Tottenham should sell Maynor Solomon. He didn’t get more than five league games last season, and his situation won’t change much under Thomas Frank. When you have options like Son, Richarlison, Tell, Odobert and Moore, keeping a fringe player doesn’t slim the squad or balance the budget. However, there were earlier reports that Spurs might be tempted to keep him.

Leeds already know him, the fanbase loves him, and he has performed there. Selling him for £15m would be a smart decision. That would free up Tottenham for a little cash that could be invested in midfield or defence. Especially when they are playing in the Champions League, the squad needs players who can contribute every week. Solomon’s ability is undeniable, but he doesn’t fit in with the direction Tottenham are going. Ultimately, it’s time for both Tottenham and Solomon to move on.
