Tottenham Hotspur Set price tag on Manor Solomon amid strong interest from Leeds United
Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly set a £15 million price tag on their talented winger Manor Solomon, who has attracted significant interest from Leeds United following an impressive loan spell at Elland Road. The 25-year-old Israeli international has been a standout performer in the Championship, helping Leeds secure promotion to the Premier League as champions. With his future at Spurs uncertain, Leeds are keen to make his move permanent, but they may face competition from other clubs.
Solomon joined Tottenham on a free transfer in the summer of 2023 from Shakhtar Donetsk, signing a five-year contract. However, his time in North London was marred by a serious knee injury that limited him to just six appearances in the 2023/24 season. Seeking regular game time, Solomon was loaned to Leeds for the 2024/25 campaign, a move that has proven to be a masterstroke. Under manager Daniel Farke, he has flourished, contributing 10 goals and 13 assists in 41 appearances, including a dramatic stoppage-time winner against Plymouth Argyle that clinched the Championship title.
Leeds, now preparing for their Premier League return, see Solomon as a key part of their plans. Reports indicate that the club has already held preliminary talks with Tottenham and is confident of securing a permanent deal, especially given Solomon’s expressed fondness for the club. In an interview with The Athletic, he stated, “I love it here. I love the fans, the club, the players, the manager.” His settled life in Leeds, where he and his fiancé Dana Voshina have integrated into the community, further bolsters the case for a permanent switch.
Tottenham, however, are open to cashing in on Solomon to fund their own transfer ambitions, particularly as they look to strengthen under manager Ange Postecoglou—or potentially a new head coach, given speculation about Postecoglou’s future. The £15m valuation represents a significant profit for a player signed for free, and Spurs are keen to offload him to free up wages and squad space. The absence of a buy option in the loan deal means negotiations will start fresh, but Leeds’ prior dealings with Tottenham, including the Archie Gray and Joe Rodon transfers, suggest a deal could be straightforward.
Leeds face competition, however. Everton and Leicester City have been linked with Solomon, while interest from European clubs could complicate matters. Despite this, Leeds hold an advantage due to Solomon’s successful stint and his desire to continue under Farke’s system, which suits his dynamic, attacking style. A potential bidding war could drive the price higher, but Leeds’ financial backing from 49ers Enterprises positions them well to meet Spurs’ demands.
As the summer transfer window approaches, Solomon’s future will be a focal point. For Leeds, securing him permanently could be a statement of intent for their Premier League campaign, while Tottenham will look to maximize their return on a player who has proven his worth away from North London.
