Leeds United emerge favourites to sign Tottenham outcast Manor Solomon on loan
Tottenham Hotspur are extremely active in the summer transfer window with many fringe players seeking exit from N17.
There are certain pressing areas in the squad that the north Londoners want to address before the August 30 transfer deadline. Nonetheless, it is pivotal to offload the deadwood from the squad to balance the books amid constant Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) scrutiny.
Tottenham have sold Emerson Royal, Oliver Skipp and Joe Rodon while releasing some players at the end of June to make space in the squad for fresh blood. Another player they want to get rid of is Manor Solomon.
Manor Solomon is surplus to requirements for Ange Postecoglou, which has led to the club placing him on the chopping block amid interest from several clubs including Wolverhampton Wanderers and Leicester City. Another club has now joined the race for the £60k-a-week star’s signature.

According to Israeli news outlet Sport5 (h/t GIVEMESPORT), Champions side Leeds United are exploring a loan move for Manor Solomon.
The Israel international’s signing on a free transfer from Fulham last summer was considered as a snip following his eye-catching performances at Craven Cottage. Unfortunately, things haven’t gone as per the plan for the 25-year-old after a bright start to life in a Spurs shirt, with a serious meniscus injury last October forcing him to watch the season pan out from the sidelines.
Having fully recovered from his long-term injury just last month, Solomon was involved in the Tottenham pre-season tour in some capacity. However, Big Ange not selecting him in the travelling squad to face newly-promoted Leicester City in Spurs’ season opener on Monday was a clear indication that the player doesn’t feature in his plans.
