‘Leeds on high alert as Manor Solomon’s agent makes Tottenham admission’
Manor Solomon’s agent has given an update on the winger’s potential switch from Tottenham to Leeds this summer.
The 25-year-old spent the season on loan at Elland Road from Spurs, as Daniel Farke’s side secured promotion back to the Premier League.
It was a successful campaign in the championship for the attacker, who scored ten goals and picked up 13 assists in 39 appearances.
Solomon secured the title for Leeds with a dramatic last-minute winner against Plymouth, on the final day.
Club ruled out of Solomon race
After completing his loan spell at Elland Road, the forward will head back to his parent club Tottenham, with his future still in the balance.
Leeds are keen to sign Solomon on a permanent basis, after the Israeli international impressed during his time at the club.
French side Marseille are also keen on securing the services of the former Fulham man though, after they qualified for the Champions League.
However, speaking to Le 10 Sport (18 May), Solomon’s agent Shlomi Ben Ezra revealed that the winger will not be moving to France.
Ben Ezra said: “[Roberto] De Zerbi sent a message to Manor, but he told him that he could not play for Marseille for political reasons.
“It’s difficult to play in another league when you’ve had a taste of the Premier League. Manor is having a great time at Leeds, but he’s under contract with Spurs.
“He likes the Premier League, but in football, you never know… It all depends on what Daniel Levy wants to do.”
Leeds will splash the cash
Football Insider Verdict
Football Insider exclusively revealed that Leeds plan to back Farke, and spend more than £100m this summer in a bid to survive next season.
That is probably the sort of investment needed to bridge what is currently a massive gap between the Premier League and Championship.
Despite the fact that Leeds went up as champions, with 100 points, the top flight is a completely different ball game.
In the past two seasons, all three promoted teams were relegated immediately in the following campaign, and the Elland Road outfit will be eager to buck the trend.
Solomon would be a smart addition, but much more is needed to ensure Farke’s side aren’t cut adrift at the bottom of the Premier League next season.
