Manor Solomon's future has finally been made clear following speculation that he may return to Leeds.

Solomon has been linked with a return to Leeds all summer, having enjoyed a brilliant loan spell for the Whites last season.

Solomon has also been subject to interest from Roma, and as the transfer window has gone on, the possibility of a move back to Elland Road has become more unclear, as Spurs have also entertained the option of keeping him.

Manor Solomon to remain at Tottenham following Thomas Frank verdict

The i Paper journalist, Kat Lucas, has reported that Solomon looks set to remain at Tottenham, with Frank putting faith in the 26-year-old.

Leeds are clearly still in the market for another midfielder and winger, with Eduard Spertsyan the favourite to join Leeds on deadline day.

Solomon's time at the club last season was a complete success, and he has proven to be good enough for the Premier League following his successful spell at Fulham in 2022/23.

Noah Okafor needs to step up following Solomon failure

With Solomon not returning to Yorkshire, Okafor needs to assume responsibility as one of Leeds' star men this season.

Okafor has already picked up an injury this season, despite not starting a Premier League game this season.

Having burst onto the scene at RB Salzburg as a youngster, his subsequent move to AC Milan has seen his minutes reduced, and he struggled to adapt to life in Italy.

  • Scored 34 goals in 110 appearances for RB Salzburg
  • Scored 7 goals in 55 games for AC Milan
  • Had an unsuccessful loan spell to Napoli in the second half of last season, featuring four times and failing to score

As the transfer window closes, Daniel Farke will hope to rely on one of his most expensive signings of the transfer window.
