An alarming update emerged for Leeds United regarding Manor Solomon in recent days.

The Israeli winger, who was a raging success at Elland Road, has now seen his future with Leeds thrown into doubt.

Solomon could stay at Tottenham with the Spurs hierarchy willing to give him another chance after impressing in the Championship.

In Daniel Farke’s case, this isn’t good news in the slightest, with Leeds fans wanting Solomon as ‘number one priority’ this window.

Well, now Tottenham’s fanbase have weighed in on what they think of the decision, with Spurs having a key decision to make.

Tottenham fans on Manor Solomon decision amid Leeds United interest

This saga seems to be a key point of the summer for both Spurs and Leeds.

It seems like Tottenham will need to sell and offload some players who might not fit the bill, and with Ange Postecoglou sacked, these decisions might now be delayed.

This isn’t good for Leeds, who will want Solomon’s signature sorted as soon as possible, with plenty of other business to get to.

Farke has already suffered a blow in this deal, with Angus Kinnear being important in Solomon’s arrival, but with him staying at Spurs, that might not matter now.

Well, speaking on X, the Tottenham supporters have given their view on what should be done with Solomon after the news.

@footballconfid1 said: “Just get rid. Cash him in. His value will never be higher; it’ll be all profit, and he’s never gonna make it at Spurs, let alone with Son, Odobert, Tel, Moore, and others ahead of him. All he will do is stop us buying quality or block Moore’s pathway.”

@Flipman491480 honestly advised: “Please sell. Not Champions League quality.”

@JPearce1946 said: “If a decent offer comes in, take it.”

“Honestly, don’t want him. He isn’t prem quality. He’s good but not at this level,” @lonelytrvlr1 questioned.

@Ferg1963 bluntly said: “Sell at all costs.”

@dakhetty wants him to go back to Yorkshire, saying: “Leeds can have him.”

Leeds ‘desperate’ to sign Solomon this summer

With this considered, the updated view from Leeds’ side of things paints the exact picture of what the 49ers want this summer.

Transfer correspondent Graeme Bailey revealed to TBR Football that the Whites are now ‘desperate’ to land Solomon’s signature.

Daniel Levy has delayed Solomon’s exit after Postecoglou’s sacking, which adds to more frustration for Leeds.

It seems like Spurs will be equally frustrated as Solomon’s deal is proving to be a nuisance for both parties involved.

Leeds United are not guaranteed to sign Tottenham Hotspur winger Manor Solomon this summer, despite his 23 goal involvements last term.

Manor Solomon helped Leeds United to win the title and return to the Premier League, with Daniel Farke’s side in need of replacing Crysencio Summerville and Georginio Rutter.

Their output had been excellent in 2023/24, thus losing them left a huge gap in the squad. Solomon took some time to get going, but he ended the season spectacularly.

In many ways, it was a gamble. Michael Bridges deemed Solomon’s arrival a risk and rightly so, given he had been sidelined for a year after tearing his meniscus just six games into his Tottenham career.

Manor Solomon set for another chance at Tottenham after impressive Leeds loan

Solomon had a magnificent season, especially towards the run-in. However, there are no guarantees that Leeds will be able to sign Solomon on a permanent basis this summer.

The Spurs winger will have interest away from just Leeds and could move elsewhere in the market. However, both the 25-year-old and Spurs will want a resolution to his Spurs future found quickly.

In fact, Solomon has been released from the Israel squad early and there has been a further update on his immediate future via Tom Barclay of The Sun.

He reports that Leeds are keen to sign him permanently, while there are believed to be other Premier League suitors interested in the winger’s services.

However, Barclay reports that Solomon is set to be given a second chance at Spurs. He believes that they are minded to bring him back into the first-team fold during pre-season.

That is with the ambition of retaining him and utilising him next season. Given the fact they are in the Champions League, there is added pressure to have a larger squad.

Spurs’ Manor Solomon price tag could be pricing teams out

It’s possible that Solomon is now over the worst of his injury concerns and ready to play regular minutes again for Spurs, but many will be disappointed connected with Leeds.

Spurs fans have urged Daniel Levy to keep Solomon after his stunning exploits with Leeds during the 2024/25 campaign as well, and it looks like they will get their way.

It’s been reported previously that Levy wants a fee between £15 million and £20 million for Solomon to sign permanently elsewhere.

That may be why he is remaining with Spurs, given many interested parties may be unwilling to pay that for someone who has played so little prior to this year with Leeds.

Leeds United transfer rumours latest, including updates on Davie Selke, Yves Bissouma, and interest emerging in Brighton target Igor Paixao.

The transfer window officially opened in recent days and things are heating up at Leeds United regarding transfer news and rumours with every passing day of the window.

A busy summer is expected at Leeds as Daniel Farke is aiming to improve several areas of the side that finished on 100 points, with the Leeds squad far from ready ahead of the club’s return to the Premier League.

In the meantime, with a huge few months ahead for Farke and the Leeds hierarchy, here we have taken a look at some of the latest transfer news and the biggest headlines coming out of the club.

Leeds eye free agent Davie Selke from Hamburg

Leeds could sign as many as two strikers this summer and a new name has emerged on that front. Leeds are said to be eyeing a move for Davie Selke of Hamburger SV.

The giant 6’5″ striker has just scored 23 goals in 33 games for Hamburg in the 2. Bundesliga after signing a one-year contract last summer, meaning he is out of contract at the end of this month.

Unfortunately for Leeds, they aren’t alone in attempting to convince Selke to sign for them, with Premier League duo West Ham United and Fulham also said to be keen alongside RB Leipzig.

He hasn’t reached his potential as many had hoped, with Joachim Low’s comments on Selke in 2019 outlining how Selke’s profile was of a “great type of player” due to his “incredible commitment and speed.”

Leeds are ones to watch with Spurs’ Yves Bissouma

Ben Jacobs of GIVEMESPORT believes Leeds want Tottenham midfielder Yves Bissouma in the summer transfer window.

The report from Jacobs states: “He wants to stay in the Premier League. I’m told Leeds are another one to watch. They’re looking to add another midfielder. It will all come down to finances and wages for them, too.”

Prior to the midfielder joining the Premier League and completing a £25 million switch to Spurs from Brighton, Bissouma and Marcelo Bielsa didn’t get on during their time together at Lille.

However, he is the exact sort of Premier League experience and quality that Leeds will be eyeing having more of in the top flight.

Paixao could be an alternative to Manor Solomon for Leeds

Leeds have Dan James, Willy Gnonto, and Largie Ramazani as their wingers currently heading into 2025/26 and the Premier League.

They will add to that this summer, with Manor Solomon an option for Leeds on a return from Spurs. However, there are no guarantees of Solomon returning and they may eye other options on the wing.

Alternatives are being sounded out, with Leeds reportedly keen on Feyenoord winger Paixao alongside Brighton, Marseille, and Napoli.

The 24-year-old Brazilian is still contracted until 2029 and Feyenoord therefore do not feel the need to sell him. The Dutch giants reportedly want at least €40 million (£33.8 million) for him.

Leeds United’s quest to bring title-clinching hero Manor Solomon back to Elland Road has hit a fresh roadblock.

The summer transfer window will open wide, for an initial nine days at least, on June 1 and Leeds United look ready to pounce.

Daniel Farke wants to significantly improve his squad to give Leeds the best possible chance of Premier League survival.

An upgrade on Brenden Aaronson in the No.10 role appears to be a top priority with Gustavo Hamer, Frank Lampard’s favourite Jack Rudoni and Aston Villa playmaker Emi Buendia all being heavily linked this week.

But it’s far from the only position Leeds want to recruit in and left-winger Manor Solomon remains a top target.

The Tottenham Hotspur forward enjoyed a great year on loan at Leeds and his goal contributions towards the end of the season were vital in getting the Whites over the line.

Solomon scored the last-gasp winner to clinch the Championship title against Plymouth and Leeds want him back on a permanent basis.

However, Tottenham are waiting to make their final decision, according to fresh reports.

Tottenham to decide Ange Postecoglou fate before making Manor Solomon decision

It had appeared that the transfer would soon be going ahead after a report on Thursday claimed Tottenham had told Solomon to leave the club.

Leeds fans were delighted with the news as they hope to see Solomon back at Elland Road for next year’s Premier League campaign.

However, it doesn’t look like Solomon’s return will be quite so swift after a fresh report on Friday.

The Daily Mail suggests that Leeds ‘will likely have to wait’ for a decision on Solomon until Daniel Levy settles the fate of manager Ange Postecoglou.

Spurs endured an appalling league season as they finished 17th and lost 22 games but Postecoglou did end the club’s 17-year wait for a trophy by winning the Europa League.

The Australian’s job is still in the balance but Leeds will be hoping he avoids the sack, given he doesn’t seem to rate Solomon highly and wouldn’t mind selling him.

How much would Manor Solomon cost Leeds United?

Reports suggest Tottenham want around £20m for Solomon this summer.

Leeds are expected to have a lot of money to spend in the transfer window, despite being subject to PSR restrictions.

Leicester City, Southampton and Ipswich all spent heavily last year, with the latter two exceeding well over £100m on new players.

It wasn’t enough to keep any of them up, though, which shows Leeds must spend wisely as well as lavishly.

Leeds United are expected to be intensifying talks over a permanent deal for Manor Solomon in the next few weeks – but Tottenham Hotspur fans have a message for Daniel Levy regarding the winger.

Solomon sparkled for Leeds last season. Michael Bridges underlined the risk in signing Solomon initially, given he had not played for a year when joining the club on a season-long loan from the London club.

After a tricky first half to the season, Solomon came good in the second half of the campaign and ended up with 23 goals and assists. After the turn of the year, Solomon laid on 16 involvements in 22 games.

Of course, Solomon scored the winning goal that clinched the Championship title and for that reason among many, Leeds fans want him signed. Leeds are confident they can get a deal done for Solomon.

Tottenham fans react to the latest Manor Solomon reports

Solomon is said to prefer a move to Leeds over Everton and Southampton, while reports of interest from Marseille have been rubbished by sources close to Sacha Tavolieri. Now, a new update on Solomon.

Reports say that Solomon has been told to leave Tottenham this summer. Spurs are expected to bring in some big-name players this summer given the club have qualified for the Champions League next term.

Spurs fans responded to the news that Tottenham and Daniel Levy have informed the Israel captain to leave the club – and it appears that supporters think their club are making the wrong Solomon decision.

MORE LEEDS UNITED STORIES

Solomon managed just six appearances for Spurs before tearing his meniscus in 2023-24, and one fan urged Levy to keep the winger because he had not been “given his chance” following his move to Spurs.

Another Spurs fan claimed that right now, “Solomon is better than any left-winger at the club”. A big claim considering Spurs boast Son Heung-min, Timo Werner and Mathys Tel as left-sided attackers.

The comparison between Solomon and Tottenham players continued, with one posting “Solomon is better than Tel so no idea why we’d sell him”, while another said he “likes Solomon” as takes on players.

How much Daniel Levy wants for Manor Solomon’s signature

Spurs signed Solomon on a free transfer from Shakhtar Donetsk thanks to the Ukraine club having to let their players go in 2023. It comes after an impressive loan at Fulham, in which he scored against Leeds.

That means any fee Spurs receive for Solomon will be pure profit and benefit the club’s position when it comes to PSR. It is claimed that Spurs want between £15m and £20m for Solomon in the coming months.

It seems a fair price that suits all parties, even if Spurs fans are coming round to the idea of Solomon in a Spurs shirt next season. For Leeds, signing Solomon has got to be a summer priority ahead of next term.

Manor Solomon’s future could be decided very soon with Tottenham and Leeds United surely set for talks.

It’s already been an ongoing saga, but Solomon returning to Leeds next season is something firmly on the 49ers’ radar.

The transfer is so much in their plans that Leeds fans have made Solomon a ‘priority’ as the winger was a big hit at Elland Road this season.

Leeds are optimistic of signing Solomon as the Israeli has made it very clear he loved his loan spell.

Well, now the Spurs hierarchy have seemingly come to their final decision on whether Leeds can explore this deal further.

Tottenham come to Manor Solomon decision amid Leeds United interest

There have been several circumstances that could halt this deal from happening, which will concern Whites fans.

It was made clear that Spurs and Leeds are struggling on Solomon’s transfer, even though both parties seem to agree that this is the right decision.

Solomon proved to be a shining light in the key stages of Leeds’ season and ultimately scored the goal that got Daniel Farke’s side back in the Premier League.

MORE LEEDS UNITED STORIES

This brings more reason why the Whites want his signature, and now Tottenham have seemingly made their final decision.

Spurs fans want Solomon to stay, but what ESPN have reported puts a stop to this possibility from happening.

The outlet states that with Solomon out on loan last season, the winger ‘must’ find a new club with Ange Postecoglou seemingly putting him down as surplus to requirements.

Leeds will want Solomon deal sorted quickly

After the 26-year-old showed every reason why he should be signed on a permanent deal, Farke will want the transfer sorted quickly.

Daniel Levy is known to be a tricky negotiator, so the 49ers won’t want a saga happening all summer, and Leeds might have to pay £20m for Solomon.

The price tag isn’t too bad and saves the time and effort of sorting a deal that could be stretched across the window.

Leeds United sold Archie Gray to Tottenham for a fee in the region of £40 million last summer.

Spurs activated his release clause, meaning the academy graduate was sold by Leeds after just one professional season at the club in the 2023/24 Championship campaign.

Archie Gray’s departure threatened to be a major blow for the Whites, having also sold Crysencio Summerville and Georginio Rutter and therefore needing to rebuild the squad for the second consecutive summer.

After disappointment at Wembley this time last year, Leeds secured the title this season. In that same campaign, Gray has won the Europa League with Spurs and will face Leeds next season as a Champions League player.

Spurs’ Archie Gray praises Leeds United’s role in his development and versatility

The 19-year-old has had to operate as a central midfielder, defensive midfielder, right-back, and as a centre-back this season under Ange Postecoglou’s tutelage. Gray even referenced Leeds after winning the Europa League.

That experience of winning a major honour, while also featuring in a variety of roles, will serve him well heading into 2025/26, with Gray speaking to Sky Sports to explain his thoughts on his season with Tottenham.

He said: “100%. For everyone, the fans, it’s been a season worthwhile, 100%.

“I’ve enjoyed this year — this year so much. You know, it’s provided me with so much and so much different experience than what I thought I was going to get.

MORE LEEDS UNITED STORIES

“And I’m grateful for that. I’m grateful for the manager trusting me in so many different positions. All these different things you get experience for.

The youngster Gray is rubbing shoulders with Cole Palmer and he explained that Leeds have played a huge role in his development in one particular area. He added: I’ve grown a lot and I’ve enjoyed it a lot.

“Wherever I’m put on the pitch I’ll try to do the same job, just give 100%, and that’s a thing Leeds do really well with all their young players.

“They always put them in every position on the pitch, so I think that provided me with a good base for playing in these different positions.

“So, I’m not going out there never playing in them.”

Archie Gray’s career stats so far are incredibly impressive

Some Spurs fans want to see Gray return to Leeds in the short-term on loan but, should he stay, Gray will face Leeds next season, having featured in some capacity in 46 of Spurs’ 60 games in all competitions this season.

Not only that, but he started 35 of those amid various injury crises they faced in defence and midfield. The utility man may be required to fill in again next term.

However, Gray will also be eyeing a season of specialising at some stage. He has primarily operated as a box-to-box midfielder or at the base of midfield in recent years. Gray is also just two senior appearances away from a century already.

Ask most Leeds United fans what they would like the club to do first this summer, and it would be to sign Manor Solomon on a permanent basis from Tottenham Hotspur.

When Solomon joined last summer, there was a mixed reaction. Most agreed that Solomon would be a stunning signing in the Championship if fully fit – and while some saw it as a coup, others felt it was risky.

Michael Bridges has said Leeds took a risk in signing Solomon. But that gamble paid off with Solomon having a hand in 23 goals during 2024-25, scoring an injury-time winner to win the Championship title.

Leeds have been told Daniel Levy wants £15m-£20m for Solomon this summer, a deal that represents pure profit for Spurs given they signed him on a free. But emerging reports from Israel come as a worry.

Solomon talks reach impasse despite Leeds and Tottenham link

Leeds have had plenty of dealings with Spurs in recent years. Djed Spence, Joe Rodon (twice) and Archie Gray have all been the subject of successful transfers between the clubs – as well as a loan for Solomon.

Gretar Steinsson is the reason for that, having swapped Spurs’ transfer team for Leeds in 2023. Now, the Icelandic has been promoted to a similar role he held at Leeds, but within the overall 49ers football team.

Steinsson will be a part of talks as Leeds try to sign Solomon, but according to Israeli outlet Ynet, Leeds and Spurs are struggling to reach a conclusion in talks to land the winger beyond his current loan spell.

Leeds announced their retained list and confirmed that Solomon had returned to his parent club. Many saw that as a formality before a permanent deal is done but perhaps, Solomon won’t sign on after all.

Solomon’s stance and rivals for Leeds favourite’s signature

The Israeli report adds that Leeds are not alone in the race to sign Solomon. They claim that Angus Kinnear wants to take Solomon to Everton, with Jack Harrison unlikely to stay at Everton beyond his loan.

Marseille are also said to have an interest, even if Sacha Tavolieri said Marseille sources had denied the Ligue 1 club wanted him. Solomon meanwhile, is said to be keen on signing for Leeds permanently.

Archie Gray is one of the brightest prospects Leeds United have produced in the last few decades, with the Tottenham Hotspur midfielder now regularly featuring in the Premier League.

With Frank Gray as his grandfather and Eddie Gray as his great uncle, Archie Gray became the fourth Gray to play for Leeds United when he broke through into the first-team following the club’s relegation to the Premier League.

Gray’s Leeds colours still shine through but the young Leeds hero departed for Tottenham in a £40 million switch last summer after the club failed to gain promotion back to the top flight at the first time of asking. Under Ange Postecoglou, Gray has been utilised as a right-back, centre-back, and as a deeper midfielder.

His future is likely to lie in midfield in the long run, although some Spurs fans want to see Gray return to Leeds in the short-term on loan. It was at the base of midfield where he featured during last night’s 2-0 defeat to Aston Villa.

Archie Gray joins incredible Spurs list since joining from Leeds

Spurs are now 17th and sat on 38 points heading into their Europa League final and with just one game left of the Premier League season. It’s been a bitterly disappointing campaign but it could have an incredible ending if they beat Manchester United.

For Gray, it has been a productive season and a year which will be particularly beneficial in his development as well. He has played 44 games in all competitions, completing the full 90 last night as a defensive midfielder in a double-pivot.

He has started in 34 of those games so far, with two still left to play. Gray has already had a taste of a final previously with Leeds after losing the play-off final at Wembley but he can hope for better at the San Mames Stadium on Wednesday night.

Irrespective of what happens, Gray’s potential is evident and Spurs know it. The youngster Gray is rubbing shoulders with Cole Palmer but also other impressive Spurs players in years gone by.

MORE LEEDS UNITED STORIES

The 19-year-old is alongside Sol Campbell, Dele Alli, and former Leeds man Aaron Lennon in terms of the most starts for Tottenham as teenagers. It underlines his talent and potential as a player and is an incredible list of names to be associated with.

Lennon joined Spurs following Leeds’ relegation and enjoyed ten fantastic years at Spurs. Even a career half as good as that would be an achievement for Gray, who continues to follow in the footsteps of greatness.

Harry Gray’s potential could be greater than Archie Gray’s

Leeds’ famed academy continues to churn out talent and Harry Gray is the latest in the Gray dynasty to collect first-team experience this season. Harry Gray has overtaken Archie and Eddie in one particular area already.

However, he must stay grounded and Daniel Farke has had to speak to Harry Gray regarding keeping his feet on the ground after the promotion celebrations, but also with so much excitement regarding his future.

Speaking of Aaron Lennon, he believes Harry Gray has the potential to be something incredible. Leeds will hope to retain his services for longer than Archie, but the pair will also want to take to the pitch together one day, be that with England, Leeds, or Spurs.

Spurs and Leeds United will meet in the Premier League next season. Before that, though, they could come to blows in the transfer market.

Leeds United are returning to the big time after winning the Championship title in a brilliant 100-point campaign under Daniel Farke.

It’s already been reported that Leeds United are ready to spend £100million or more this summer as the 49ers eye a long-term future in the Premier League for the club.

There’s a growing number of players linked with summer moves to Elland Road as we near the start of the summer transfer window which opens on June 1st.

And as was the case throughout much of the 2024/25 season, it looks like Farke will look for a new no.10 in the summer transfer window.

This position was often cited as one that Farke wanted to bolster and that will surely be the case again this summer, in particular after the mixed second half of the season for Brenden Aaronson.

One player who could replace Aaronson in that no.10 role this summer could be James McAtee. It’s reported that he’s set to be sold by Man City this summer and Leeds United are being linked with McAtee once again, after the Whites were linked with the 22-year-old during the January transfer window as well.

But GIVEMESPORT are now reporting that Spurs are also interested in signing McAtee. They write that ‘Tottenham are keeping tabs on McAtee’s situation’ but reiterate the fact that there are a number of teams looking to sign the Salford-born midfielder this summer.

MORE LEEDS UNITED STORIES

Man City want £25million for McAtee this summer making him a potentially very expensive signing for Leeds. But Leeds United fans are excited by the McAtee rumours and so it could prove money well-spent for Farke and the 49ers.

Spurs also want Leeds United transfer target Georgios Vagiannidis

Spurs would of course be an attractive option for McAtee and the North Londoners may have the cash ready to buy him out of his Man City misery.

And Ange Postecoglou might not stop there in his plight of Leeds United. It’s also reported that Spurs want to sign Georgios Vagiannidis who has recently been linked with a move to Elland Road.

Leeds want to sign the Panathinaikos right-back who’s valued at £8.5million, meaning a double deal for him and McAtee would cost £33.5million for either Spurs or Leeds, should they both move to the same club this summer.

As soon as the transfer window opens, Leeds United need to be completing deals, or risk losing out on almost every target this summer.
