Manor Solomon is expected to complete a loan move to Leeds United on Sunday afternoon as The Whites finally get to work in the transfer market and replace the losses of some key departures.
It sees Leeds finally bring in players to cover the losses of Crysencio Summerville and Georginio Rutter after the duo joined Premier League clubs in the form of West Ham United and Brighton & Hove Albion.
Leeds have secured a £10m deal for Largie Ramazani from Almeria, and he is set to be following by Spurs star Solomon. Israel star Solomon has rejected a move to Getafe and has undergone a Leeds medical.
Signed by Spurs a year ago after he starred at Fulham and scored in Rutter’s second-ever Leeds start, he tore his meniscus after six Spurs games. Now, Leeds are set to renew their relationship with Tottenham.
Jamie O’Hara says Solomon can rip up the Championship at Leeds
A deal to lure the former Shakhtar Donetsk ace to Elland Road will be done at some point on Sunday and sees Leeds add a sixth new player, after Ramazani, Jayden Bogle, Joe Rodon, Joe Rothwell and Alex Cairns.
Former Tottenham player Jamie O’Hara, who is a well-known Spurs fan, told TalkSPORT (24/08, 6.30PM) that he believes Solomon has the quality to sparkle in the Championship and would be a good signing.
“I liked him. He picked up an injury, and he didn’t really get involved after that. He is good, will be good for you in the Championship. Definitely good enough to rip that league up. If you get him, good signing.”
Details of Solomon loan and what does it mean for Joel Piroe?
Tottenham know they have a player in the form of Solomon and his injury came at a bad time. The move to loan him to Leeds is to get the Israeli ace game time, but also help Leeds fight for promotion this term.
It means that Spurs have not allowed Leeds, or not decided to include a permanent clause in the loan for Solomon. What is interesting is now the future of Joel Piroe after a difficult first year at Elland Road.
Piroe finds himself second-choice up top behind Mateo Joseph and behind the likes of Wilfried Gnonto, Brenden Aaronson and possibly even Solomon. Maybe, Piroe could request a move before Friday night.
