Manor Solomon has completed his Leeds United medical ahead of joining the club on loan before the deadline, according to Shay Lugassi.
The Barca Times head reported via X on 25 August that the Tottenham Hotspur attacker had come through tests ahead of his “official transfer” to Elland Road.
The 25-year-old is set to join Daniel Farke’s squad on a season-long loan without a permanent option included.
He represents the third deal done with Spurs during the transfer window after the sale of Archie Gray and the permanent return of Joe Rodon.
Daniel Farke set for new Leeds United attacker on loan
The Whites have left it until a late scramble in the final week before the deadline but they appear to finally be getting some vital deals done.
Whether Solomon or Largie Ramazani are able to replicate the output of Crysencio Summerville and Georginio Rutter remains to be seen after the former Elland Road stars’ exits to West Ham and Brighton respectively.
Farke also wants another full-back and a midfielder in before the window shuts so that he can challenge for promotion again [The Athletic, 16 August].
And according to the Daily Mail on 24 August a new striker is also on the cards, but whether there will be time to get all that business done before the end of the week is going to be a challenge.
Solomon should be a very solid addition on the pitch for Farke as he looks to bounce back from injury and just six Spurs appearances.
But Farke is having to rebuild after a slow start for the second year running amid instability in the final weeks of the transfer window.
In other Leeds United news, a senior ace who is “stuck in the reserves” is set for a shock international switch.

Leeds United to sign possible Patrick Bamford replacement after Manor Solomon from Tottenham
Leeds United are still planning to sign a new striker before the close of the transfer window, according to the Daily Mail.
The paper reported via their website on 24 August that with Tottenham’s Manor Solomon undergoing a medical ahead of a loan switch to Elland Road the Whites are still hoping to make a pair of additional signings after the Israeli.
A forward and a full-back are on the cards for Daniel Farke ahead of the deadline, after the German saw a number of high-profile stars leave this summer.
The Athletic reported on 16 August that another midfielder was wanted in addition to a full-back, and two attacking recruits, in the wake of Georginio Rutter’s and Crysencio Summerville’s departures.
Daniel Farke set for Patrick Bamford replacement?
Solomon arriving after Largie Ramazani from Almeria would nominally fill the gaps left behind by Summerville and Rutter.
Mateo Joseph broke out with an excellent performance in the 2-0 win at Sheffield Wednesday [Sky Sports, 23 August] to suggest he could also be a regular in the XI this term.
But after Rutter’s departure the central forward areas are a confused picture, with both Patrick Bamford and Joel Piroe excellent on their day but well below that level at other times.
One of the two senior forwards was expected to be sold this summer [Daily Mail, 1 July] but it looks impossible for Bamford to leave before the deadline and satisfactory offers clearly haven’t come forth for Piroe.
