Leeds United are reportedly looking to sign 25-year-old Israeli international Manor Solomon permanently in the summer transfer window.
According to a report by Give Me Sport, Leeds United are hoping to sign Manor Solomon permanently upon the expiry of his loan deal. The Israeli international joined the Whites on loan after struggling for game time at Tottenham Hotspur.
The 25-year-old has done quite well for the Championship club, and it is no surprise that Leeds United are lining up a summer move for him. The winger is reportedly valued at £20 million, and it will be interesting to see if Leeds are willing to pay up.
The Whites are currently fighting for promotion to the Premier League, and they will have the financial resources to get the deal across the line if they can secure a return to the top flight. Meanwhile, the player does not have a future at Tottenham, and the North London club are unlikely to stand in his way. They will sanction his departure if the £20 million asking price is met.
Manor Solomon will want to stay at Leeds United and focus on his football as well. He will not get the required opportunities at Tottenham, and leaving the North London club permanently would be ideal for him.
It will be interesting to see if Leeds step up on their interest and come forward with an official offer to sign the player in the coming months. The attacker will certainly hope that the two clubs can iron out a move so that he can sort out his long-term future and focus on his football once again.
Can Solomon help Leeds secure promotion?
Leeds United missed out on promotion narrowly last season, and they will be desperate to return to the top flight this time around. The Whites have enjoyed an impressive season so far, and Solomon has played a key role for them it remains to be seen whether the Israeli international can help them return to the Premier League.
Leads United are currently five points clear at the top of the Championship table. Meanwhile, the 25-year-old Tottenham winger has seven goals and eight assists to his name in all competitions, and he is versatile enough to operate on either flank. His versatility will be an added bonus for Leeds in the long run.
The Israeli international is yet to enter his peak years, and he could improve further with coaching and experience. Solomon has the experience of performing well in the Premier League with Fulham as well, and he could be an asset for Leeds in the long term.
