Manor Solomon could emerge back on Leeds United’s radar as the club continues its search for a winger.
Following Leeds’ failure to sign Igor Paixao, it’s clear that Daniel Farke will have to explore other options.
The original target here was Solomon, following his successful loan spell at Elland Road last season.
However, fans were left confused as the Israeli wasn’t opting for a return to West Yorkshire.
This was because Solomon wanted to play at Tottenham, but now Thomas Frank’s side have a different plan.

The winger was a brilliant success in the Championship for the Whites, as 22 goal contributions helped Farke’s side on their way to a Premier League return.
Not to mention the 26-year-old scoring the goal that won Leeds the title, as it seemed like the winger was all set to rejoin the club.
With his decision to stay in North London, Frank liked what he saw in Solomon, but the Spurs boss seems to have had a dramatic U-turn on things.
That’s according to LeedsUnited.News’ transfer expert Graeme Bailey, who has exclusively revealed what Tottenham are now planning to do with the former Whites loanee.
“They (Spurs) were willing to let him fight for his place, but I think it’s going to soon become apparent to Solomon that he’s not really a part of Tottenham’s plans. He would cost probably a bit less than £20 million,” Bailey said.
From this, Leeds now have the chance to secure a transfer as it’s certainly a remarkable turnaround.
Despite Willy Gnonto looking like Solomon’s heir, the Spurs winger now has the door open to return.

Finally, there is good news in the Solomon saga as the Whites can finally land the original winger they were chasing.
The disappointment of missing out on Paixao was difficult with the Leeds hierarchy struggling to find an alternative, but it’s clear that the Israeli is now the perfect option.

| Duels won per 90 | 4.94 |
There might be concerns whether the Tottenham forward would want the move, but Solomon ‘loves’ Leeds and made that a common theme from his time on loan.
With the 49ers not having any problem with personal terms being agreed, it’s now up to the ownership to make a move with anything below £20 million looking like a solid deal, as this saga could have a fairytale ending after all.
