Although the focus has understandably been on players Tottenham Hotspur need to try to sign before the summer 2025 transfer window comes to a close, there's also the matter of Spurs needing to make sales in order to clear out space in the squad from unwanted players while raising more funds to afford the world-class players they want.
Tottenham are zeroing in on two attacking game-changers in the Premier League this summer to boost a squad that finished a lowly 17th in league play last year. But combined, Crystal Palace No. 10 Eberechi Eze and Manchester City winger Savinho would cost close to 150 million pounds.
Tottenham have spent just under 100 million pounds in the summer transfer window thus far and have room to go with investment, but they haven't generated any major sales besides selling Son Heung-min for half of what they could have to MLS as a favor to their greatest club legend.
Spurs have been having trouble finding a suitor for troublesome midfielder Yves Bissouma, and they've pretty much given up on trying to sell Richarlison. So the next sale could be another obvious one in forward Manor Solomon, who spent the last season starring in the Championship for newly promoted side Leeds United.
Tottenham forward could stay in Premier League
According to Fabrizio Romano, there are "clubs calling" to sign Solomon, and you'd think that they'd have to be relatively high-profile clubs since Fab has specified that they are La Liga and Premier League clubs. Romano writes that Solomon "could leave" Tottenham Hotspur in the remaining weeks of the transfer window.
You'd also have to think that Leeds are among those Premier League suitors, as Solomon was vital to them last season. He won't be the most productive forward in the Premier League, but he's a good goal-scoring winger who can make most rotations and would probably be able to have some sort of a backup role at Spurs.
But Spurs are going to try and bring in a real top-class starter in Savinho alongside Kudus, and they'd rather give those minutes on the wings to higher-upside options like Brennan Johnson, Mathys Tel, and Wilson Odobert instead of Solomon, whose future potential is pretty limited.
Solomon is, like Bissouma, pretty much a no-brainer for Tottenham to sell this summer, and while Bissouma would actually be a bigger priority to sell, he's also proved himself in bigger games like in the Europa League knockouts. Solomon's level is a step or two below Tottenham.
