How Daniel Levy feels about Tottenham selling Manor Solomon as Leeds United set to make permanent move

Leeds United are expected to try and bring Manor Solomon to Elland Road on a permanent basis this summer and now, Tottenham’s stance has been revealed.

Solomon scored the goal that secured Leeds’ Championship title having already earned promotion back to the Premier League. He finished the season with stats of 10 goals and 13 assists for Daniel Farke’s side.

Harshly omitted from the Championship Team of the Season, Solomon has become a fan favourite during his time at Elland Road. Now, Leeds have a decision to make about his long-term future in West Yorkshire.

It is believed a fee between £15m and £20m would see Daniel Levy allow Solomon to go permanently to Leeds. Everton and Southampton are also supposedly keen but Solomon prefers a Leeds move to those.

What Graeme Bailey has told us about Tottenham and Solomon

It has been widely reported that Leeds would like to keep Solomon beyond his loan, but whether Spurs were willing to cash in at all was at one point, under the microscope. Now, Spurs have made a decision.

Graeme Bailey has told LeedsUnited.News that at one point, Tottenham were ready to try and bring the winger back into the fold given his form for Leeds. But now, Levy is willing to sell Solomon to Leeds.

“Leeds want to bring him back, no massive surprise. Tottenham had considered bringing him back but they’ve moved on from that. He represents pure profit for them, there is a bit of interest around Europe.

“He’s really enjoyed his time at Leeds, loved the area and I would be surprised if he isn’t back at Leeds next season,” Bailey said, discussing Solomon and the chances of him reuniting with his Leeds mates.
