Tottenham seeking £16.8 million for 25-year-old attacker; personal terms agreed

Tottenham Hotspur are seeking £16.8 million for Manor Solomon

Tottenham Hotspur’s miserable league campaign hit another low at the weekend, with Ange Postecoglou’s side falling to yet another defeat, this time at the hands of Crystal Palace. The result means Spurs can no longer surpass their worst-ever Premier League points total of 44 and will now need to win both of their remaining games just to match it.

Despite their dismal domestic form, there remains a glimmer of hope for redemption. On May 21, Tottenham will face Manchester United in the Europa League final, a match that could not only secure their first piece of silverware in 17 years but also provide a backdoor route to Champions League football next season.

For Postecoglou, the stakes couldn’t be higher. His future at Spurs remains under scrutiny, with reports suggesting that his job may still hang in the balance despite the European run. However, delivering a trophy and a Champions League berth would undoubtedly bolster his case to remain in charge, potentially buying him time to rebuild and restructure ahead of the next campaign.

Injuries have undoubtedly played a part in their struggles, but even without them, the squad has been woefully short on quality and consistency. The lack of depth and top-tier talent has been exposed repeatedly throughout the season, and a rebuild is now a necessity, not a choice.

For Tottenham, the upcoming transfer window presents an opportunity to generate substantial funds by offloading underperforming players while targeting key reinforcements. The question is whether the club will be bold enough to make sweeping changes or whether they will attempt another short-term fix that only delays the inevitable.

Manor Solomon emerges as a potential summer sale after impressive loan spell

Manor Solomon was a huge factor in Leeds United’s Championship title victory and subsequent promotion, scoring the stoppage time winner that clinched the title. For the season, he tallied 10 goals and 13 assists in 41 appearances across all competitions. His form has grabbed attention and interest, and according to Sky Sports, Leeds are interested in bringing him back as they prepare for life in the Premier League. Marseille are also reportedly pushing for a deal because manager Roberto De Zerbi is very keen to acquire the winger.

According to London World, Solomon’s representatives have already agreed personal terms, but now it is just up to the French side and Tottenham to come to an agreement. Spurs are supposedly holding out for £16.8 million, which would be pure profit considering they acquired him on a free from Shakhtar Donetsk in 2023. He has only managed five league appearances for Spurs meaning his future at the club is uncertain and likely to be determined this summer.

If Manor Solomon remains at Tottenham, Ange Postecoglou may use the pre-season to assess the winger’s progress and determine whether he fits into the tactical setup moving forward. However, with Postecoglou’s future still uncertain, a different manager could take a contrasting view on Solomon’s role at the club.

Meanwhile, if Marseille or any other suitor presents an early bid, Tottenham’s hierarchy might be inclined to strike a deal swiftly. After a standout season on loan at Leeds United that saw him play a key role in their promotion campaign, Solomon has proven his quality. His performances have not gone unnoticed, and with multiple European clubs reportedly monitoring his situation, Spurs could see this summer as the perfect opportunity to cash in.

For a club looking to fund a significant rebuild, selling Solomon at a high point in his value could make financial sense. However, letting him go without first evaluating his potential in a revamped system could also be a risk. Tottenham’s decision may ultimately hinge on how much any prospective offer aligns with their broader transfer strategy, whether that means reinvesting in more experienced talent or banking on youth and potential.
