There are ample players on the books at White Hart Lane, and as Daniel Levy looks to invest more in the squad at Ange Postecoglou’s disposal, the North Londoners will have to make space in the roster by selling players and reinvesting that money into new ones, and of the players that could be on their way out of the doors at N17 is Israeli forward Manor Solomon.
The 25-year-old has been playing exceptionally on loan at Leeds United, and the Whites could look to make his stay a permanent one.
The Lilywhites have worked closely with the chiefs at Elland Road of late, with the £40m move for Archie Gray last summer being the start of a long-term partnership, and there have been suggestions that the Championship side could offer a discount to Tottenham on any payment owed for the teenager in a possible exchange for Solomon.
Leeds can take on Solomon as exchange on Gray payment
And John Wenham, owner of the highly reputed Spurs podcast Lilywhites Rose, suggests that any transfer involving Solomon with a move to Elland Road will be a straightforward one, insisting that it would be one of the easiest transfers of all time.
Speaking in an exclusive interview with Tottenham News, the podcast host said:
“I think this would be one of the easiest permanent deals of all time. Solomon is playing well, and Tottenham will owe Leeds at least two more £10m payments for Gray – I’m sure that was spread over three years. Therefore, we just won’t pay Leeds one of the £10m payments and they can keep Solomon.
“I think around £10m is a fair price. After that, who knows, Tottenham might also have to make a payment to Shakhtar Donetsk.”
Solomon signed at White Hart Lane in a highly controversial transfer; however, following what was an exciting start to his life in North London, he picked up a long-term injury, and Ange Postecoglou had settled on his players out wide by the time he got back.
It is good to see him do well at Leeds now, and hopefully he can continue to take his game to his pre-injury level and find himself lining up in the Premier League soon.

‘Contract terms being discussed’: Liverpool inching closer to another deal before Isak – Fabrizio Romano
Liverpool are continuing to tackle multiple avenues in the summer transfer window, including the potential sale of Darwin Nunez. Despite hopes that Arne Slot could prove to be a transformative presence for the Uruguayan, the striker’s days at Anfield appear to be numbered. Reports had indicated that Italian clubs were seriously interested in the No.9. However, Liverpool’s asking price (reportedly set at €70m [£60.7m]) for Nunez has precluded him from a potential Serie A move. Has Darwin Nunez stance on Saudi Pro League transfer changed? We were initially led to believe that the former Benfica hitman was only really open to a move within the boundaries of Europe. However, judging by Fabrizio Romano’s latest update on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday evening, it would appear that position is not quite fixed. The Italian reports that Al-Hilal ‘have presented [an] official proposal’ to Darwin Nunez. Intriguingly, it would appear as if the negotiations are being entertained by the player and his camp. So, a move certainly isn’t off the table just yet. From a Liverpool perspective, that’s seriously good news given that the likes of Napoli and Co. were not able to fork out the kind of cash we were hoping to receive for the out-of-favour forward. Nunez sale would help Liverpool keep costs down amid Isak pursuit It should be emphasised that Liverpool are in absolutely no danger of breaching PSR this summer – even should we complete a record transfer for Isak. Regardless, it’s nice to see that the club has already made some significant headway in balancing the books with deals for the likes of Luis Diaz (£65.5m) and Jarell Quansah (£35m). A further influx of cash in the region of £60m for Nunez would no doubt be welcome news for a club that continues to be extremely well run behind the scenes. Not to mention beneficial ahead of a potential mammoth fee to be spent on Newcastle’s Alexander Isak. It remains to be seen whether we manage to complete this one before the summer window closes on September 1. But we’re hopeful!
Surprising Marlins earn MLB first in sweep of Yankees
The Miami Marlins achieved a franchise first on Sunday. In doing so, they carved out an interesting place in MLB history. With a 7-3 victory over the Yankees, the Marlins swept New York for the first time in a series of three or more games. In doing so, the Marlins became the only team to have a winning record, including the postseason, against the Yankees. The Yankees now have a 22-21 record against the Marlins in the regular season. However, the Marlins won the 2003 World Series against the Yankees in six games, giving the Fish a 25-24 record all-time. The Marlins' victory on Sunday meant more than a unique place in baseball history. That victory evened the Marlins' record at 55-55, the first time they have been at .500 or better since April 15 (8-8). The Marlins are 30-14 in their last 44 games, tying the 2003 championship team for the best stretch (last done from June 18-Aug. 9) in franchise history. The Marlins defied expectations at the trade deadline, holding on to pitchers Sandy Alcantara and Edward Cabrera. Their only trade involved sending outfielder Jesus Sanchez to Houston, acquiring pitcher Ryan Gusto and a pair of prospects. Expectations were that the Marlins were simply waiting for the offseason to trade those pitchers, as there may be a larger market. Instead, the generally inexperienced Marlins roster is growing and improving by the day. They have clawed back from a 24-40 start to the season to pull themselves into the NL wild-card conversation. Although a lot would need to go right for the Marlins to reach the playoffs this season, they could be a dangerous team over the rest of the season and beyond. The Yankees found that out the hard way.
25-time Grammy winner's sports agency blasts Jerry Jones for 'comical' comment
The Dallas Cowboys may have 99 problems, and the way owner Jerry Jones handles contract negotiations could be considered a big one. Jones spoke with the media Saturday regarding Micah Parsons' contract situation. The EDGE, who is entering the final year of his rookie deal, has requested a trade. The 82-year-old owner clarified the Cowboys have no plans to trade Parsons. While discussing negotiations, Jones took an unprovoked jab at former Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant and his agent, rapper Jay-Z. "When we have a problem within the team and a player, I don't ever find the agent. He's nowhere to be found," Jones said. "...Jay-Z and I negotiated [Bryant's contract in 2015], spent hours. He said, 'Anybody in my organization is on time.' He said, 'My office used to be on the street corner, and I've always been early. So, they will be on time.' And I said, 'Where do I sign? But I'm going to call you.' Finally, he quit taking my call." The 25-time Grammy winner's sports agency, Roc Nation, took issue with Jones' comment. In a statement released on X Sunday, it denied his claim, calling it "comical." This is yet another example of Jones prioritizing attention when he should be focused on extending two-time first-team All-Pro Parsons. The Cowboys often delay deals for their stars. The team signed Bryant to a five-year, $70M deal in July 2015, just before the deadline to extend players with a franchise tag. Last season, Dallas signed quarterback Dak Prescott to a four-year, $240M contract ahead of its season opener against the Cleveland Browns. The team's procrastination often leaves it paying even more for star players and wastes valuable time. Parsons is still with the team at training camp in Oxnard, Calif., but isn't participating. He likely wants a contract that's similar to that of Pittsburgh Steelers EDGE T.J. Watt (three years, $123M). The pass-rusher is the highest-paid non-quarterback in the league. Jones' methods are one reason the Cowboys haven't won a Super Bowl since the 1995 season. Jay-Z should mention that if he wants to write a single that includes a lyric about the owner.
Marlins troll Yankees with fitting song amid series sweep
The Miami Marlins turned to good ol’ Neil Diamond to clown on the New York Yankees during their impressive weekend triumph. Miami pulled off an improbable three-game series sweep of the Yankees on Sunday with a 7-3 win at LoanDepot Park in Miami. It marked the sixth consecutive series victory for the Marlins as well as their first-ever three-game sweep of the Yankees in franchise history. As Sunday’s game was nearing the end, the Marlins decided to have some fun. With the Yankees down to their last three outs entering the top of the ninth inning, “Sweet Caroline” began loudly playing inside the ballpark. Here is a video: Of course, “Sweet Caroline” is an anthem of the Boston Red Sox, the hated rivals of the Yankees. The song plays in the eighth inning of every game at Fenway Park. Fittingly enough, the 62-51 Red Sox are officially now ahead of the Yankees in the AL East standings (thanks to the Yankees’ brutal weekend against the Marlins putting them at 60-52). The Yankees only had themselves to blame for their poor weekend showing, piling on several more embarrassing mental mistakes during the series. As for the Marlins though, they are quickly looking like one of the best stories of the second half. After sitting at a dismal 25-41 in mid-June, Miami is suddenly a .500 team again at 55-55 and it has clawed to within 5.5 games back of a wild-card spot in the NL.
