Unhappy Manor Solomon ready for Tottenham return as loan termination update emerges
Manor Solomon could be headed back to Tottenham in the January transfer window amid discontent with his latest loan spell.
Solomon joined Villarreal for the season in the summer but is barely getting a game for the Spanish side and is considering an early exit.
The Israeli international hasn’t featured for Spurs in over two years and only has six appearances for the club in total, but was on the bench for early under Thomas Frank for the defeat to Burnley in late August.
Solomon was a prominent feature in Leeds United’s Championship-winning side last season but has now only featured in 10 matches this term for the Yellow Submarine, starting just once in La Liga.
Manor Solomon unhappy with Villarreal loan
According to a new updated from local outlet in Spain El Periodico Mediterraneo the 26-year-old has a clause in his loan agreement that would let him unilaterally terminate the deal during the January transfer window.

As such, an early exit is not thought to be out of the question, with sources close to the winger said not to be ruling out the possibility after Solomon himself expressed his dissatisfaction at the lack of playing time on social media recently.
For Villarreal’s part they are not considered likely to be badly affected due to a large squad with plenty of other options.
Permanent Leeds deal appears obvious Solomon move
While Frank’s sputtering attacking unit back in England could probably use all the help it can get at the moment there doesn’t look to be much interest from Tottenham‘s side in getting Solomon involved in that.
He made a reasonable start to the season under Ange Postecoglou two years ago before losing the rest of the campaign to a serious injury, but after bouncing back under Daniel Farke at Elland Road last term to the tune of 41 total appearances the ship appears to have sailed in North London.
Frank was impressed by Solomon when he first took the Spurs job but clearly that didn’t translate into a place in the side for the first half of the campaign.
At 26 Solomon is hardly an up-and-coming talent so if Frank doesn’t see any use for him in January, assuming the Dane is even still in charge by that point, then a permanent exit is surely on the cards sooner or later.
Leeds are widely reported to remain interested in bringing him back, and since Farke has secured his own job with some positive results it would appear to make most sense for all involved to work something out with the Whites.
