Manor Solomon ‘to spark bidding war’ amid £15million Tottenham transfer news

Manor Solomon looks set to leave Tottenham with a host of clubs chasing his signature.

Solomon spent most of his first season in North London sidelined with an injury, before joining Leeds United on loan at the beginning of the 2024/25 campaign.

Therefore, it looks as though the forward could be set to depart Spurs without ever getting a real opportunity under Ange Postecoglou.

However, where Solomon will move to remains to be seen, with Leeds not the only side expressing an interest in the Israel international.

Leeds and Everton keen to sign Solomon from Tottenham

As reported by GiveMeSport (23 February), Everton are also keen on Solomon, with Tottenham expected to demand between £10-15million for his services.

However, Lilywhite Rose owner John Wenham – speaking exclusively to Tottenham News – expects the 25-year-old to join Leeds United.

“Everton’s interest could absolutely spark a bidding war,” Wenham said.

“With these new owners in place, they will hope to have a lot more financial power. However, I think a move to Leeds would be sensible for Solomon.

“They seem to be heading in the right direction, and the owners look to be fully invested in pushing the club forward and returning to the Premier League. I think Leeds are on to a good thing here. As a result, a transfer there would make sense for Solomon.

“Furthermore, as I’ve said previously, Tottenham will owe Leeds money for the Archie Gray deal. Therefore, that is an easy deal to do, Spurs just won’t pay one of the £10million instalments for Gray, and Leeds keep Solomon. That is what I see happening.”

Solomon should join Leeds from Tottenham

If Tottenham can save £10m by sending Solomon to Leeds, that is what they should do.

And from the player’s perspective, a permanent move to Elland Road would also make sense. Solomon is already settled at the club, who look set to return to the Premier League.

Therefore, if Daniel Farke’s side do get promoted, this is a move which could make sense for all parties.
