Tottenham Hotspur are conducting a clear-out after a difficult past season and they have reportedly made a decision over one of their forwards.
According to football.london, Spurs boss Roberto De Zerbi has informed Manor Solomon that he isn't part of his plans. He is free to leave the Lilywhites after his loan at Fiorentina expired.
Solomon spent the first half of the campaign on loan at Villarreal in La Liga before heading to the Italian side in January. The Israeli attacker has found game time hard to come by throughout his time in North London.
Tottenham Ready to Offload Manor Solomon
Solomon joined Tottenham as a free agent in the summer of 2023 after leaving Ukrainian outfit Shakhtar Donetsk. He had caught the eye in Ukraine but has lacked first-team opportunities with the Lilywhites.
The 26-year-old has spent spells on loan at Leeds United, Fiorentina, and Villarreal. He has made just six appearances for his parent club and is now headed for the exit door.
De Zerbi's appointment is said to have given Solomon hope of potentially being handed a chance to win the coach over. The Italian has instead told the player to look for a move elsewhere.
There's no word on which clubs may be keen on signing the Israeli, given his availability, but Leeds were expected to try and sign him permanently last summer. He had also been on Crystal Palace's radar, but a late deal fell through once the Eagles decided to pull the plug.
A Mass Exodus is Anticipated
Solomon, previously dubbed "excellent" by Kevin De Bruyne, is one of several Spurs stars who will surely be shown the door by De Zerbi this summer. The club is focused on a major rebuild, and that includes offloading fringe players such as the Israeli attacker.
The transfer chiefs are already busy and have reunited De Zerbi with his former Brighton & Hove Albion defender Jan Paul van Hecke. A new attacker is on the wishlist, and the latest name to be linked is AS Monaco's Maghnes Akliouche.
Spurs are also overhauling De Zerbi's midfield and have set their sights on Newcastle United's Sandro Tonali. While their initial £75m bid has been rejected twice, the club remain focused on sealing a deal for the Italian midfielder.
