Leeds United have been handed a huge blow in their bid to sign former loanee Manor Solomon on a permanent deal this summer, according to the latest reports.
The Sun claims that the Israel international will be offered a second chance at Tottenham Hotspur - after helping Leeds win promotion last season.
Solomon made 39 Championship appearances for Daniel Farke's team and returned an impressive 10 goals and 12 assists after arriving from Spurs at the start of the campaign.
The 25-year-old scored a number of important goals including the strike that clinched the EFL Championship title on the final day of the season.
The Whites knew they needed to match Burnley's result against Millwall. However an own goal from Sam Byram gave the Pilgrims the lead, with the Clarets romping to a home win against the Lions.
A second half turnaround saw Willy Gnonto equalise after the half-time interval, before Solomon scored late into injury time to wrap up the title in dramatic fashion.
The Whites were hopeful of bringing the winger back to Elland Road permanently after playing a starring role last season, but the report now claims that Spurs are considering bringing him back into the first-team fold.
The Sun add that a decision is not likely to be impacted by the uncertainty around Ange Postecoglou's future. Solomon's last game for Spurs was back in September 2023 with a hamstring injury blighting his move to north London.
Leeds and a number of clubs across Europe are said to be keen on a swoop for Solomon this summer and it was widely reported that he'd be free to leave Spurs.
However, a final decision on his future is unlikely to be made until after Daniel Levy has decided whether, or not, the club will keep Postecoglou as manager.
The Australian head coach guided Spurs to Europa League glory this season, thus ending their 17-year wait for a trophy, but the dismal run of form in the Premier League saw them finish in 17th - 13 points above the relegation zone - and the three teams that eventually went down to the Championship.
