Crystal Palace and Tottenham are both expected to be busy before the 7pm transfer deadline.
Spurs are already close to signing Randal Kolo Muani on loan from PSG, whereas Christantus Uche is having a medical at Crystal Palace ahead of a £17m move from Getafe.
Crystal Palace and Tottenham are also now speaking directly about a potential deal involving Manor Solomon – according to the Daily Mail.
Crystal Palace in talks with Tottenham over Manor Solomon
Matt Barlow claimed at 1pm on the Daily Mail’s transfer deadline day live blog that the south Londoners are currently in discussions with Spurs over the Israel international.
It is said that Crystal Palace made an approach over the weekend – which was “flatly rejected” by Tottenham – although the Eagles have restarted talks today, with Tottenham entertaining the discussions.
Barlow writes that a loan move with an option to make the deal permanent is a possibility for Solomon – who Kevin De Bruyne called an “excellent player” back in 2024.
The 26-year-old scored ten goals and provided 12 assists in 39 Championship appearances on loan at Leeds last season.
Daniel Levy might not want to deal with Crystal Palace after Eberechi Eze drama
Steve Parish and Daniel Levy were recently in talks over a deal for Eberechi Eze, before it ended in humiliation for Tottenham.
Arsenal swooped in and hijacked the £68m deal Spurs were on the verge of completing – also helped by the England international wanting to join the Gunners – and the manner in which this saga played out could have damaged relations between Parish and Levy, in our opinion at least.
TBR Football understand Leeds also remain in contention to sign Solomon after his successful loan spell at Elland Road last season.
With that in mind, and the dramatic saga involving Eze, this could be a difficult loan deal for Crystal Palace to negotiate ahead of the 7pm deadline.
