Leeds United get huge Manor Solomon transfer boost
Leeds United are understood to be keen on signing Manor Solomon permanently from Tottenham this summer.
The Israel international shone on loan at Elland Road this season as Leeds secured promotion back to the Premier League.
Daniel Farke is set to stay on for next season and he will be tasked to finish 17th or higher.
Solomon agent admits Premier League transfer desire
Shlomi Ben Ezra, Solomon’s agent, has dismissed the idea of Solomon fancying a move to France over the Premier League.
The reason he cannot play for Marseille even if he might want to, is political, as per Ben Ezra.
It’s understood that the 25-year-old will prefer staying in the Premier League, but the door still remains open.

Thus far, Leeds have not reached an agreement with the winger or Spurs over him moving to Elland Road in the transfer window.
“[Roberto] De Zerbi sent a message to Manor, but he told him that he could not play for Marseille for political reasons,” Ben Ezra told Le 10 Sport.
“It’s difficult to play in another league when you’ve had a taste of the Premier League. Manor is having a great time at Leeds, but he’s under contract with Spurs.
“He likes the Premier League, but in football, you never know… It all depends on what Daniel Levy wants to do. Manor likes English football and he’ll prefer the Premier League… But in football, you never know what might happen.”
Leeds United must seek a quick answer to Solomon’s transfer
Leeds should prioritise securing Solomon permanently from Tottenham to bolster their Premier League squad.
With Farke looking to right the wrongs of his previous Premier League campaigns, the left winger’s proven impact during his loan spell makes him a key target.
Leeds should initiate negotiations with Tottenham, leveraging his preference for the Premier League and his agent’s comments to push for a reasonable transfer fee, potentially around £15-20million given his contract situation.
Offering Solomon a long-term deal with performance-based incentives could secure his commitment.
To fund the move, Leeds could utilise promotion revenue as they’re expected to have a big transfer budget this summer.
Acting swiftly before other Premier League clubs enter the race will be crucial to ensuring Solomon remains at Elland Road, strengthening Farke’s attacking options.
