Tottenham’s Manor Solomon set for Leeds medical ahead of loan move — The Athletic 24/8/24

By David Ornstein

Tottenham Hotspur winger Manor Solomon is to undergo a medical today (Saturday) ahead of a loan move to Championship side Leeds United.

The deal will not include an option to buy, with Solomon remaining under contract with Tottenham until June 2028.

Solomon joined Spurs on a free transfer from Shakhtar Donetsk last summer but made only six appearances before sustaining what turned out to be a season-ending knee injury in October. Tottenham confirmed in March that Solomon had undergone minor surgery on the meniscus in his right knee, with the 25-year-old calling it the “most difficult and frustrating” period of his career.

Solomon featured for Spurs during pre-season but was not in their matchday squad for Monday’s season opener at Leicester City. Spurs have also moved to bring in winger Wilson Odobert from Burnley in a deal worth up to £30million ($39.6m).

Solomon previously spent the 2022-23 season on loan at Fulham from Shakhtar. The Israel international scored five times in 24 appearances for the west London side.

Leeds, meanwhile, have seen several key players depart after failing to win promotion back to the Premier League last season, with Georginio Rutter joining Brighton & Hove Albion, Crysencio Summerville moving to West Ham United, Glen Kamara leaving for Rennes and Archie Gray departing for Tottenham. Daniel Farke’s side have signed winger Largie Ramazani from Almeria, Joe Rodon from Spurs, right-bac Jayden Bogle from Sheffield United, goalkeeper Alex Cairns from Salford City and midfielder Joe Rothwell from Bournemouth.

Leeds beat Sheffield Wednesday 2-0 at Hillsborough on Friday night to secure their first win of the season, following two draws in the Championship and a defeat in the Carabao Cup. They are return to action next Saturday with a home match against Hull City.

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. Daniel Farke wants to add a proven forward to his squad in this window after losing two of his most creative sources. Clarke is an experienced winger who could be put straight into the starting lineup and does have the knowledge
