Leeds United fans are unsure about whether the club should sign Tottenham winger Manor Solomon after making just six appearances last season.

Football Insider revealed (August 24) that Manor Solomon is undergoing a Leeds United medical today after a loan deal has been agreed with Tottenham.

The 25-year-old hasn't played consistent football since his loan spell at Fulham in 2022-23, making 24 appearances and scoring five goals in the process.

Solomon then moved to Spurs in a controversial free transfer from Ukrainian giants Shakhtar Donetsk but has failed to make an impression due to injury problems.

Last season alone the winger spent 276 days on the sidelines for Spurs with a Meniscus injury, missing 33 games as the club narrowly missed out on Champions League football.

Leeds United fans unsure about Manor Solomon signing

Daniel Farke's side have had a tricky start to their Championship season with two draws and one win but things are starting to look up with the club finally making moves in the transfer window.

Football Insider also revealed (August 26) that the West Yorkshire club are “confident” of completing three signings this week before the transfer window closes.

Solomon signing really makes no sense to me. 3 surgeries in the last 2 seasons, missed 8 months for Spurs last season playing just 280 minutes and 5 months in the previous for Fulham with the same reoccurring injury.

So apparently today should be Solomon Day, where he joins us on loan. As long as he is not plagued by injury, he could be excellent for us. Seems Ajax were interested, so this is kudos to Leeds.🙂

Soloman will take time to get a starting spot, his last competitive game was 30th September 2023. Expect him to be an impact player for the first month or so.

Not sure about this Solomon deal. Hasn't his whole career been an injury? #LUFC #THFC

Manor Solomon expected to finally seal his season-long loan move to Leeds United tomorrow. Good move for the player to get back to his pre-injury levels at a big club looking to get back into the Premier League.

Still don’t know where Solomon fits but all I know is I’d much rather be bringing him on off the bench instead of Jaidon Anthony and maybe that’s the difference this season.

Either we play Solomon on the right and use him like DJ, or we play him on the left like Summerville and change up how the team is structured.

In any case, wish we went for someone who is more of a clear upgrade to our best 11. #LUFC
