‘Farke could get it wrong at Leeds United’ as £10m transfer update emerges
Daniel Farke could have some huge transfer decisions on his hands if Leeds United earn promotion from the Championship.
There are eight games remaining in the second tier this season and the Whites sit at the top of the tree with 38 games gone.
Sheffield United are level on points with the LS11 club, with Burnley just two points behind on 78 points in hot pursuit of a top-two spot.
There is a realistic hope of promotion at Elland Road, which could see the plans for the transfer window start to take shape in the coming days and weeks.
Leeds United learn fee for Manor Solomon transfer
There have been plenty of excellent players across a whole host of positions who have played a key role for the Whites throughout the campaign.
It is fair to say that attacking areas have been important for Farke’s side with Joel Piroe playing a key role up front with Dan James on the flank.
On the left-hand side, Tottenham loanee Solomon has found a home in West Yorkshire but is only on loan until the end of the season.
Looking ahead to the summer, there is likely to be a chance to sign the 25-year-old permanently, especially if promotion is earned.
Graeme Bailey has reported (26 March) that Spurs will let the Israel international go in the summer if the deal is right in North London.
With that being said, Leeds are seemingly unlikely to be willing to pay as much as £10million for his signature at the end of his loan.
If Solomon is available for that sort of fee, it should be a no-brainer as opposed to one that Farke should opt to turn down.
Farke can’t get it wrong with Solomon transfer
It is fair to say that the former Fulham man has become one of the more important players for the Whites since signing on loan in the summer.
His contribution of seven goals and seven assists in the Championship ranks him among the top three players in LS11 for goal contributions.
| Rank | Player | Goals | Assists | Total |
| 1. | Joel Piroe | 15 | 6 | 21 |
| 2. | Dan James | 10 | 9 | 19 |
| 3. | Manor Solomon | 7 | 7 | 14 |
To be able to sign a player with such positive output for as little as £10m should not be turned away and ultimately could prove to be a steal.
Ipswich Town are evidence that keeping the base of your squad together after promotion is important, and Solomon is certainly a part of that.
It makes complete sense for him to sign on a permanent basis for that fee, especially if other first-team regulars like Junior Firpo look set to leave.
