Manor Solomon is set to complete his move from Tottenham Hotspur to Leeds United on Tuesday.

The 25-year-old winger is joining the West Yorkshire club on a season-long loan, which does not include an option to turn the deal permanent. There was late interest from elsewhere but Solomon is set to join Leeds.

The Athletic reported on Saturday that Solomon was to undergo a medical ahead of completing his move. Solomon remains under contract with Tottenham until June 2028 having signed a five-year deal when joining from Shakhtar Donetsk last summer.

Solomon had enjoyed a productive 2022-23 season on loan at Fulham from Shakhtar, scoring five goals in 24 appearances. He then signed for Spurs as a free agent but featured only six times before sustaining a season-ending right knee injury in October.

Solomon returned to action for Spurs during pre-season but was not named in Ange Postecoglou’s matchday squads for either of their opening two Premier League matches. Postecoglou’s side have also added to their winger depth with the signing of Wilson Odobert from Burnley in a deal worth up to £30million ($39.6m).

Tottenham and Leeds have previously done business this summer with Archie Gray joining the north London club and Joe Rodon heading the other way, having spent last season on loan at the Championship side. As well as Rodon, Leeds have signed Largie Ramazani, Jayden Bogle, Alex Cairns and Joe Rothwell this summer. They have, though sold Georginio Rutter, Crysencio Summerville and Glen Kamara, as well as Gray.

Elsewhere, The Athletic has also reported that Leeds have interest in Freiburg’s Hungary international Roland Sallai. The 27-year-old winger has a year remaining on his conract

Daniel Farke’s side won their first match of the season on Friday as they beat Sheffield Wednesday 2-0. They are back in action on Saturday when they welcome Hull City to Elland Road. Spurs, meanwhile, travel to Newcastle United on Sunday for their next fixture.

Will Butcher West Ham United are closing in on a deal to sign Crysencio Summerville from Leeds United, and Ben Jacobs has shared how much Leeds will receive for the Dutchman. The 22-year-old has been strongly linked with the Elland Road exit door all summer and was targeted as the one big sale Leeds needed to make before the Profit & Sustainability Rules deadline this month. But instead, Leeds sold Archie Gray for £40m to Tottenham. Leeds have since sold five more players in the form of Diego Llorente, Marc Roca, Kris Klaesson and Charlie Cresswell – raking in around £60m in total. But more exits were always likely and Fabrizio Romano reported on Wednesday afternoon that West Ham had agreed personal terms with Summerville, and talks for a fee were ongoing with the Yorkshire side. Now, the story has moved on with multiple sources claiming a deal is done between Leeds and Angus Kinnear’s old club. The Dutchman is expected to sign a five-year at the London Stadium, until Jun

Wayne Veysey Leeds United could re-sign Jack Clarke this month in a sensational move after the forward rejected a new contract at Sunderland, sources have told Football Insider. Leeds are in the market for a proven forward before the transfer window closes after Crysencio Summerville’s exit and Georginio Rutter’s soon-to-be-completed Brighton move. The west Yorkshire giants have registered an interest in the 23-year-old, but Southampton are also keen on signing him. West Ham had been interested in Clarke back in January but have not followed up on that since then. Clarke graduated from Leeds United’s academy and played for the club until 2019 when he signed for Tottenham Hotspur. The forward is under contract at the Stadium Of Light until 2026.

Clarke is an experienced winger who could be put straight into the starting lineup and does have the knowledge
