Manor Solomon will reportedly be spending pre-season with Tottenham Hotspur following Thomas Frank's appointment as Ange Postecoglou's replacement.

French journalist Sacha Tavolieri reports that Frank is going to check Solomon out during the off-season as he gets to grips with the Lilywhites' squad. The 25-year-old spent last season on loan at Leeds United, helping Daniel Farke's side earn promotion as EFL Championship title winners.

Solomon joined Spurs as a free agent in the summer of 2023 due to a FIFA ruling that foreign clubs could suspend their contracts with Ukrainian clubs. He terminated his contract with Shakhtar Donetsk and joined the North Londoners, but struggled for game time, leading to a loan to Elland Road.

Spurs Set To Keep Solomon

Thomas Frank appears to be an admirer

Solomon was a hit at Leeds, managing a superb tally of 10 goals and 12 assists for Farke's Peacocks. GIVEMESPORT sources learned that he had wanted to seal a permanent switch after their promotion was confirmed, but he now looks set to spend pre-season with Spurs.

Tavolieri gave an update on the previously hailed "unplayable" winger's future with a post on X:

"Manor Solomon’s going to start pre-season with Tottenham. Thomas Frank likes what he sees and wants to check him out in training. Currently, the plan is that Manor will stay and play for Tottenham this season."

Solomon has three years left on his contract with Spurs and could become a first-team regular under Frank. He may need to rely on the Israeli attacker amid reports that Son Heung-min is "open to leaving" the North London giants this summer.

Frank's decision comes alongside speculation that he's set to make several intriguing decisions at the start of his reign. Richarlison is reportedly being eyed for his team's number nine starting berth ahead of Dominic Solanke.

Tottenham are also backing the Dane by throwing themselves into the race for his former Brentford winger Bryan Mbeumo. Reports claim they have made a £70m offer for the Cameroonian who had initially chosen Manchester United as his preferred destination.
