Manor Solomon to seal Leeds transfer within weeks as Tottenham fee emerges
Manor Solomon is just weeks away from making his loan move from Tottenham to Leeds United permanent.
The 25-year-old has played a key role in Leeds‘ road to promotion this season, bagging nine goals and 12 assists in 38 Championship appearances.
Solomon will be determined to help the Whites clinch the league title with a win against Plymouth at Home Park on Saturday (3 May).
Meanwhile, planning for next season is already underway at Elland Road, with Daniel Farke facing the prospect of being sacked by Paraag Marathe.
Apart from the manager, the Peacocks also have big decisions to make regarding some players, including Junior Firpo and Solomon.
Leeds to match Tottenham asking price for Solomon
It has emerged that Leeds are keen to retain Solomon‘s services beyond this season and are prepared to sign him permanently from Tottenham.
To the Whites’ delight, Spurs are open to selling the attacker to raise funds ahead of a busy summer transfer window, according to TEAMtalk.
With Solomon also indicating his desire to stay at Elland Road, all parties are on the same page about a transfer, as reported by the news outlet via their website on Wednesday (30 April).
| Matches | Goals | Assists |
| 38 | 9 | 12 |
A transfer deal is thus expected to go through in ‘coming weeks’, despite Leeds facing competition from clubs in the Premier League.
The fee that Spurs want for Solomon is expected to be within the West Yorkshire outfit’s reach, although further details of the terms are yet to be known.
The North London giants are seemingly prepared to accept a cut-price deal for the former Shakhtar Donetsk star, as they are keen to offload him.
Elland Road outfit to beat Everton
Everton have been credited with an interest in signing Solomon on the back of his exceptional form in the Championship this season.
However, Leeds are in the driving seat to sign the player, meaning they are on course to beat the Goodison Park outfit for his signature.
The Whites, though, will need several other additions to their squad to avoid risking relegation next term.
