TBR Football understands Leeds United have informed Tottenham Hotspur that they want to make their deal for Manor Solomon permanent in the summer.
Solomon has enjoyed a top season in the Championship as he played a key role in helping Leeds to win the division with 100 points.
The Israeli international netted the winning goal against Plymouth Argyle in stoppage time to secure the title for the West Yorkshire club.
The Whites have now started talks to sign the 25-year-old permanently and Tottenham have informed them how much a deal will cost.
Tottenham set Manor Solomon asking price for Leeds United
Tottenham Hotspur want close to £20 million for Manor Solomon, but Leeds United are hoping to get him for closer to £15 million, sources have told TBR Football chief correspondent Graeme Bailey.
TBR Football understands that Spurs will allow him to leave – as he arrived as a free agent, he will be pure profit on PSR too and with a busy summer ahead, that is something Spurs won’t turn their nose up at.
There is interest from elsewhere, including Everton, where Angus Kinnear and Nick Hammond know him well from their time at Leeds. Everton are also interested in Leeds’ Junior Firpo who is a free agent in the summer.
There are also teams in Europe who would like to explore a deal, with Marseille reportedly showing an interest in Solomon.
However, TBR Football has been told that Solomon’s current preference is to seal a permanent move to Elland Road following his outstanding campaign in the Championship.
Manor Solomon’s superb season for Leeds
Solomon finished the season with 23 goal contributions in the league, with his 12 assists making him the Championship’s joint third highest tally.
The winger also netted ten times in the Championship across 39 matches, which saw him finish as the team’s third top scorer.
