Tottenham Hotspur winger Manor Solomon's agent has revealed that the player is seeking a permanent departure from the Premier League club this summer, after spending each of the last two seasons out on loan.
Solomon joined Spurs from Fulham on a free transfer in 2023, and has since made just six appearances for the North London club. A serious injury in his first campaign with the Lilywhites essentially put an end to his career at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and he's subsequently been shipped out to Leeds United, Villarreal and Fiorentina on temporary deals.
The Italian club declined the chance to sign the Israeli permanently for €10 million (£8.6 million), meaning the wide forward has been forced to return to N17 for pre-season.
Despite featuring in a few recent friendlies, and previously working under Roberto De Zerbi at Shakhtar Donetsk, Solomon is still expected to leave Tottenham this summer.
Manor Solomon Wants Permanent Exit From Tottenham
Despite enjoying an outstanding loan spell at Leeds in the 2024/25 season, Solomon hasn't been able to find a permanent new home since.
He's now back at Tottenham, where he isn't wanted and is likely to leave, in spite of his prominence during pre-season. To the surprise of many, the 27-year-old is still under contract at Spurs for another two years.
According to his agent, Ronen Katzav, Solomon is eager to settle somewhere indefinitely this summer, rather than enduring another short stint at a club that doesn't intend to sign him permanently.
“He needs to be given a training camp as a Tottenham player right now. The fact that he’s starting in friendlies doesn’t mean anything, a coach can start with a second or third, string lineup and then mix things up; it doesn’t mean a thing," Katzav told Israel's Sport 5.
“Next season? I don’t like to speculate.
"We have over a month left in the transfer window. What I will say is that the goal will be a permanent transfer, not a loan. Statistically speaking, the last week of the window is the busiest.
“He wants to be dominant and make an impact, and that probably won’t happen at Tottenham. It doesn’t seem like the right place for him, and they’ve given up on him too easily along the way. The real goal is to find a place where he can play regularly. Manor is a very high-quality player, both mentally and professionally.”
Manor Solomon is One of a Number of Players Tottenham Must Sell This Summer
Spurs have spent big money already this summer. Sandro Tonali has arrived for £100 million from Newcastle, Mateus Fernandes has joined from West Ham for £85 million, and Jan Paul van Hecke has signed for £52 million from Brighton.
More work needs to be done on De Zerbi's squad, most notably at the top end of the pitch. That said, funds are likely to be scarce at this point, meaning sales may be required to fuel further investment.
