View: Tottenham prove transfer appeal again as Fabrizio Romano details medical scheduled for Manor Solomon
Tottenham have not had it easy in recent times, with supporters strongly believing that the club are underachieving in all competitions.
The constant managerial turnaround did not help matters, but stability should be restored after the appointment of Ange Postecoglou.
And the former Celtic boss is wasting no time at all in getting his squad ready for next season, with Tottenham already securing the signature of Leicester City star James Maddison.
His signing proved the North London club still have plenty of pull despite their struggles, with several clubs undoubtedly interested in the midfielder before he agreed to join Tottenham.
And the club have now demonstrated that it definitely wasn’t a one-off, with the London outfit beating several sides to the signature of winger Manor Solomon.
The Shakhtar Donetsk attacker, who spent last season on loan in West London at Fulham, will have a medical at Tottenham on Thursday (6 July), with the deal already done, as per Fabrizio Romano.
But other Premier League clubs West Ham and Aston Villa were keen to snap him up this summer, as were German side RB Leipzig, his agent told 5 Sport.
Solomon, however, was clearly excited by the summer rebuild at Tottenham, with the player keen to get going immediately under the tutelage of Postecoglou.
The 23-year-old netted five times from his 24 matches in all competitions for the Cottagers last season; four goals in the league and one in the FA Cup.
Remarkably, his four Premier League goals came in successive matches, with the feat made even more impressive given how he didn’t play 90 minutes in any of those games.
The longest he got on the pitch during that fine spell was 75 minutes in the 3-2 loss against Brentford in March, where Solomon earned a Fulham-best match rating of 7.4, as per SofaScore.
That was thanks to his 89% passing accuracy, four tackles, seven out of 10 duels won, two interceptions, two out of three successful dribbles, and of course his goal.
In other Tottenham news, the £40million signing of Maddison from Leicester represents a financial win for the North London club.
