Leeds United winger Manor Solomon has made his feelings clear on the Whites amid ongoing transfer speculation linking him with a permanent move away from parent club Tottenham Hotspur.

The Israel international has been a mainstay in Daniel Farke's starting XI since agreeing to a season-long loan during the summer transfer window.

Solomon scored 10 goals and set up a further 13 more for his Leeds teammates in 41 appearances this season, including the winner at Plymouth Argyle to win the title.

He's become a popular figure among the Whites' fanbase and the majority would love to see him return next season.

The 25-year-old is now set to return to north London with his future to be decided by Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou. The Whites have been touted as a possible permanent destination for the lively winger after winning promotion back to the Premier League.

Solomon was part of the Leeds United open top bus parade celebrating the team's success this season and opened up about his time at Elland Road.

He told supporters: "To see them [Leeds' fans] celebrating like this, I don't know how many thousand, you can't count them.

"It is incredible. I was expecting to see a lot of people, but not this many, it is great.

"What we have all done this season is amazing. Now we have to celebrate it.

"I've made some memories at Leeds United and they will always be in my heart. "These fans deserve to be so happy."

It's understood Solomon would be open to a move to Leeds this summer, though there will also be interest from other clubs in the Premier League after impressing in the second tier.

Solomon was quizzed about his future after Saturday's win at Plymouth and said "I've been focused on this season - in two or three days we will talk and see what is happening."

He's been full of praise for Farke recently, admitting in a recent interview with Leeds Live that the German was one of the reasons he moved to the club.

“Daniel was one of the decisions [sic] why I joined Leeds, so definitely it could be one of the reasons why I will join Leeds in the summer, why or not,” he said.

"We always had conversations and he wanted to help me to achieve my best. So I can say that he has a lot of credit for the season that I've had.”
