Transfer fee identified for ‘dream signing’ — He would be a steal for Leeds United — The Leeds Press 24/2/25
by Kris Sanyal
Leeds United are focused on preparing for their big game
against Sheffield United at Bramall Lane tonight but promotion talk around the
club is growing louder. Leeds seem to be on their way to securing automatic
promotion to the Premier League and even Daniel Farke has indicated that they
are closing in on their goal. It has led to speculation over what Leeds would
need to do in the summer to ensure they have a squad to survive in the top
flight of English football. They are expected to strengthen in all areas of
their squad in their attempt to raise the quality of their squad by several
manifolds. However, Leeds are also keen to ensure that they hold on to one of
their most important players from this season.
It is hard not to focus on what Leeds United need to do in
the next transfer window for survival in the Premier League even before Leeds
have sealed their return to the top flight.
Leeds need a calamitous loss of form to not finish in the
top two from here on and Farke has already admitted that 20 more points from
their remaining 13 league games should get the job done.
The club would have a task at hand in the summer as this
season has proved that the gap between the Premier League and the Championship
has only grown wider and deeper.
Leeds will need quality additions to their squad in every area of their squad and the club will have to make some tough calls on certain players despite their role in getting them to this position this season.
However, there is one player Leeds are keen to hold on to
and it seems work is already underway behind the scenes to set up a deal in the
summer.
Tottenham identify price for Manor Solomon’s sale – Leeds
United must move soon
Solomon joined Leeds on loan from Tottenham last summer and
while he took a while to settle, the winger has been in terrific form since
December.
His performances have played a key role in ensuring that
Leeds are in a good position to secure automatic promotion to the Premier
League at the end of the season.
Leeds need to get promoted if they want to sign the winger
on a permanent deal and it seems work is underway to set up a deal for the
summer transfer window.
They are expected to hold talks with Tottenham soon and
according to GiveMeSport, the north London club have a price in mind for his
departure.
It has been claimed that Tottenham are ready to listen to
offers for Solomon for a fee in the region of £10m and £15m in the next summer
transfer window.
Solomon is focused on getting Leeds promoted and once it
happens, the Whites will be prepared to make a proper move to land him on a
permanent deal.
Everton are also interested in Solomon but Leeds would
believe if they are in the Premier League they would be able to convince him to
return to Elland Road in the summer.
Solomon would be a steal at that price for Leeds
Solomon’s impact on the team since he replaced Wilfried
Gnonto in the starting eleven in December has been immense. His goals and
assists have propelled Leeds to consolidate their position at the summit.
The winger has been a constant menace on the left-hand side
of Leeds’ attack and has combined well with the rest of the forward line in the
last few weeks.
Leeds fans want the club to seal a deal to sign the winger
on a permanent deal from Tottenham in the summer and it seems the latter are
willing sellers.
