TBR Football can exclusively reveal that Manor Solomon has told Tottenham Hotspur that he wants to stay at Spurs despite interest from Leeds United.
The 25-year-old has been on Spurs’ books for nearly two years now after joining them from Shakhtar Donetsk in 2023.
Solomon played just six times for the North Londoners due to injury issues in his debut campaign, but his loan spell at Leeds United gave him all the game time that he wanted.
The Whites want to sign him permanently after his brilliant season at Elland Road, but Solomon has different plans.
Manor Solomon has told Tottenham that he wants to stay
TBR Football’s chief correspondent, Graeme Bailey, understands that Manor Solomon has told Tottenham that he still feels he has a future in North London following his outstanding campaign on loan at Leeds United.
Daniel Farke’s side are desperate to bring him back to Elland Road, and there is interest elsewhere on the continent in the Israeli winger.
However, Solomon is in no hurry to leave Tottenham, and TBR can confirm that he believes he can break his way back into the Spurs first team.
It remains to be seen whether Ange Postecoglou will remain in charge. It remains likely that he will depart, and that has given Solomon further confidence that he can impress a new boss.
Spurs’ hierarchy were ready to sanction Solomon’s sale, but they are willing, at this moment, to give him a chance in pre-season.
Bailey told TBR: “I am told that Solomon still thinks he can break into the first team at Tottenham. He has gained so much confidence from his spell at Leeds and now feels fully adapted to English football.
“He is a very interesting option, Spurs like him and are ready to let him prove himself during pre-season.”
Manor Solomon’s stats at Leeds United during his loan spell
Solomon had a fantastic season on loan at Leeds United.
After failing to play a game for Tottenham from the end of September 2023 until the following summer, there were doubts over whether he could deliver at Leeds.
But, those concerns went away very quickly thanks to his brilliant performances.
Solomon also scored a 91st-minute winner in Leeds’ last game of the season against Plymouth.
That goal helped Farke’s side finish the campaign ahead of Burnley on goal difference and win the Championship title.
That is why Leeds are desperate to retain his services.
