Tottenham Hotspur’s Manor Solomon has had a mixed time at Fiorentina. As the season comes to an end, he is keen on making a decisive mark for the club.
He has two Serie A goals and an assist, playing a role in taking them away from the bottom three. The Spurs man also started and did well against Juventus at the weekend, helping Fiorentina to a vital victory.
This recent run of form came after he missed a month’s action due a muscle injury. Sport Witness covered how these physical worries were causing concerns over his permanent purchase, even if Tottenham need only €7m to sell.
The Israel international is keen on proving that he is worth the money, as La Viola make a final decision.
Solomon keen to do all he can
Corriere dello Sport report that the winger is ‘playing for redemption’ and a possible buyout. With a game to go, he is keen to impress and convince the Fiorentina management that he is worth €7m.
The report clarifies that in February, Fiorentina were convinced about a permanent deal. Then, injuries started haunting the Tottenham player again, raising familiar question marks that were also evident during his loan at Villarreal.
La Viola are currently inclined to not signing him but all hope isn’t lost. Solomon wants to do very well against Atalanta at the weekend. A win can lift the club as high as 12th in the table, if things go right.
Fiorentina, meantime, know that Tottenham don’t need the winger and this can play a key role in the summer.
Fiorentina should lower price
Tottenham aren’t keen on keeping hold of Solomon. They signed him for free and anything they earn will go down as a capital gain. Even if they earn €5m from his exit, it would be a bonus of sorts for them.
Fabio Paratici knows that and will try to take advantage of the situation.
It is fair to question Solomon’s fitness, which has been questioned since he picked up a serious knee injury not long ago. But in Serie A, he has shown an ability to contribute goals and even if he contributes to around ten goals a season, paying €5m for a permanent deal makes a lot of sense.
