Once Largie Ramazani is officially confirmed today, all eyes will be on who Leeds United look to bring in next.
Ramazani is set to end Leeds’ over a month long wait for a new signing but simply has to be the start of a major recruitment drive between now and August 30.
The 23-year-old is expected to be one of two attackers Leeds add to their squad in the next eight days, with a replacement for Georginio Rutter next on the agenda.
Full-back and central midfield are also positions of interest to Daniel Farke, who made that clear as early as after Leeds’ second pre-season friendly of the summer.
Having said that, Ramazani is certainly a step in the right direction and the fact Leeds are paying £10 million to sign him shows there is money to spend.
Leeds eyeing Spurs’ Manor Solomon
Stuart Dallas put the theory across on Sky Sports last weekend that Leeds were waiting for Premier League clubs to finalise their squads before really making a late push in the market.
Leeds have struggled to complete moves for top-flight loanees this summer due to their inability to guarantee game time, though that is more of a concern when they are younger.
And according to Sport5, Leeds are looking towards the Premier League loan market for their next signing with Tottenham Hotspur’s Manor Solomon on the radar.
It is said Spurs have already made the decision to loan out Solomon in the coming days having spent almost the entirety of last season out injured.
Solomon has offers from abroad but as per the report, would prefer to stay in England and Leeds are described as one of the candidates to win the race.
The 25-year-old, described as a ‘pocket rocket’ by Jamie Redknapp on Sky Sports due to his explosive pace, primarily plays off the left and so you would imagine Wilfried Gnonto would have to leave if he comes in.
Who is new Leeds target Manor Solomon?
As mentioned, Solomon would be a strange type of winger to target after Ramazani, but there is no doubting he’d be a real coup at this level.
Solomon has an abundance of Champions League experience from his time at Shakhtar Donetsk, a club where he scored 22 goals in 106 appearances.
He then moved on loan to Fulham in the 2022/23 season and enjoyed a decent time of it at Craven Cottage, with one of his five goals to the club coming in a 2-0 FA Cup win against Leeds.
Having joined Spurs on a free transfer last summer, his time at the club has been riddled with injuries and so clearly he is at a point now where he needs to go and play.
