Tottenham Hotspur winger Manor Solomon is to undergo a medical today (Saturday) ahead of a loan move to Championship side Leeds United.
The deal will not include an option to buy, with Solomon remaining under contract with Tottenham until June 2028.
Solomon joined Spurs on a free transfer from Shakhtar Donetsk last summer but made only six appearances before sustaining what turned out to be a season-ending knee injury in October. Tottenham confirmed in March that Solomon had undergone minor surgery on the meniscus in his right knee, with the 25-year-old calling the “most difficult and frustrating” period of his career.
Solomon featured for Spurs during pre-season but was not in their matchday squad for Monday’s season opener at Leicester City. Spurs have moved to bring in winger Wilson Odobert from Burnley in a deal worth up to £30million ($39.6m).
Solomon previously spent the 2022-23 season on loan at Fulham from Shakhtar. The Israel international scored five times in 24 appearances for the west London side.
Leeds, meanwhile, have seen several key players depart after failing to win promotion back joining Brighton & Hove Albion, Crysencio Summerville moving to West Ham United, Glen Kamara leaving for Rennes and Archie Gray departing for Tottenham.
Daniel Farke’s side have signed winger Largie Ramazani from Almeria, Joe Rodon from Spurs, right-bac Jayden Bogle from Sheffield United, goalkeeper Alex Cairns from Salford City and midfielder Joe Rothwell from Bournemouth.
Leeds beat Sheffield Wednesday 2-0 at Hillsborough on Friday night to secure their first win of the season, following two draws in the Championship and a defeat in the Carabao Cup. They are return to action next Saturday with a home match against Hull City.
