Fabrizio Romano shares Leeds update on permanent Manor Solomon transfer
Fabrizio Romano has shared an update on Manor Solomon as Leeds United attempt to make his loan move from Tottenham permanent.
The Israel winger has impressed at Elland Road, notching eight goal contributions in ten matches since the turn of the year.
The Premier League outfit are reportedly willing to sell the 25-year-old in the summer transfer window for a fee of £15 million.
The move is a no-brainer but may be complicated after the new developments emerged.
Solomon not focusing on Leeds transfer
The report from Fabrizio Romano via GiveMeSport (26 February) claims that a move for the Spurs loanee is not on the cards at the moment.
The Whites would need to secure promotion to the Premier League in order to secure the player’s signature, according to the renowned journalist.
He said: “Leeds want to try to keep the player, but they will need to get promoted. There will be more clubs interested from the Premier League.
“At the moment, it’s not something advanced. The player is focused on events on the pitch, so there’s nothing really concrete, but the interest from Leeds to make this deal is absolutely there.
“There was also interest from Italy before he joined Leeds, but for sure Leeds will try.”
Leeds need to seal Solomon deal
The winger has been absolutely vital to Daniel Farke‘s side this season, notching seven goals and seven assists in 27 league matches.
| Championship 24/25 | Goals | Assists | Chances created |
| Solomon | 7 | 7 | 38 |
It is crucial the 49ers make the right investments to ensure Leeds stay in the Premier League if they do ensure promotion.
Southampton, Ipswich Town and Leicester City all look set to come straight back down which suggests that the gap between the top flight and the second tier is at an all-time high.
The West Yorkshire club will not be competitive in the division if they do not back Farke with quality recruitments in the summer transfer window ahead of a tough campaign.
Solomon has proved that can be a key player for the Whites and has experience in the Premier League already from his time with Fulham, where he scored four goals in 19 matches and his spell at Tottenham, where he made five appearances.
Failure to bring the Israel international in during the summer transfer window will severely weaken the Leeds squad and increase their chances of coming straight back down to the second tier.
If they can secure a deal early in the window, they can kick on and make more signings to give themselves a better chance of survival in their first season back in the top flight.
