Manor Solomon’s Tottenham Hotspur career is more or less over after his deadline day exit.
The Israeli international joined Spurs in the summer of 2023 from Shakhtar Donetsk on a free transfer. While the North London club felt they had snapped up a top talent on a bargain, the move hasn’t worked out.
No way back for Manor Solomon
The 26-year-old joined Villarreal on a season-long loan deal on deadline day. He is set to return to his parent club next summer, but according to a report from GiveMeSport, Solomon’s Spurs career is already over. He is unlikely to have another opportunity to break into the first team.
Solomon suffered a serious injury a few weeks into his debut campaign. He was forced to sit on the sidelines for the rest of the season and ended up getting loaned out to Leeds United last season.
The Israeli international did manage to revive his career with an impressive loan spell, as he contributed towards 22 goals in 39 league games. The 26-year-old played a massive role in their promotion to the top flight.
While Leeds were keen on signing him permanently, things didn’t go according to plan for them. Meanwhile, Thomas Frank decided to hand him an opportunity to cement his spot in their first team. Solomon was a part of their pre-season squad as the new manager wanted to have a close look at him.
Solomon needs a permanent exit
He was given a chance to impress the boss, but certainly didn’t succeed, which is why he has been sent out on loan. On top of that, Spurs added a lot of quality to their attack this summer. As a result, even if he had stayed, Solomon was unlikely to get much game time.
The North London club signed Mathys Tel permanently, and they also added Mohammed Kudus and Xavi Simons to their squad. All three of them can feature on the flank, and they already have Dejan Kulusevski, Richarlison, Brennan Johnson and Wilson Odobert in their ranks.
Given the number of options Frank has for the wide areas, Solomon might not get to play for Spurs ever again. The late loan move, in a way, confirms his time at Tottenham is over.
