Leeds United's first summer signing 'likely' to be Tottenham Hotspur man as 'talks' claim made — Yorkshire Post 22/4/25

Leeds United are reportedly likely to make Tottenham Hotspur
winger Manor Solomon their first signing of the summer transfer window.
Promotion to the Premier League was secured on Easter
Monday, allowing the Whites to move ahead with plans to prepare for life in the
top flight.
Summer investment will be crucial if Leeds are to be
competitive next term, with the plight of last season’s promoted clubs acting
as a cautionary tale.
Leicester City and Southampton have already had their
respective relegations confirmed, with Ipswich Town set to follow.
Leeds will be desperate to avoid the trap door and according
to TEAMtalk, are in talks over a permanent deal for loanee winger Solomon.
The 25-year-old arrived at Elland Road in the summer, making
a temporary switch from Tottenham Hotspur.
He had been plagued by injury in North London and his
fitness record did spark some worries among Leeds supporters.
However, the Israel international has managed to stay fit
and has been a key figure in the promotion-winning campaign.
He has a total of 20 goal contributions in the league on his
record, having scored nine goals and registered 11 assists.
Talks regarding a permanent move are thought to have taken
place, with Leeds said to be optimistic an agreement can be struck.
Solomon has spoken candidly about his enjoyment of life in
West Yorkshire, telling The Athletic in January: “I love it here, I love the
fans. I love the club. I love the players, the manager.
“Especially now, I’m really enjoying it and I love living
here. Of course, it’s different to London, less things to do and we have less
friends here. All the Israelis, they live in London, but we found our place
here.
