Tottenham’s Manor Solomon is currently making waves during his loan spell at Leeds United, and there’s mounting speculation that he could secure a permanent move to the Yorkshire club next summer, with reports suggesting a fee of around £10 million.
Solomon, who arrived at Spurs in the summer of 2023 from Shakhtar Donetsk on a free transfer, has had a rocky start to his tenure in North London.
After joining Tottenham, the 25-year-old winger struggled to find his footing, largely due to an injury that ruled him out for the remainder of the 2023/24 season.
Although he returned fit for the new campaign, he was not included in manager Ange Postecoglou’s plans, prompting the club to seek a loan move to get him game time and reinvigorate his career.
Tottenham player set to leave the club in 2025
At Leeds, Solomon has hit the ground running, impressing fans and critics alike with his performance. He made an immediate impact, providing an assist in his debut, and it’s clear he has the quality to shine at a higher level.
John Wenham, the owner of the Spurs podcast Lilywhite Rose, is particularly optimistic about Solomon’s potential, stating that he is “too good for the Championship.” Wenham believes the winger could thrive in the Premier League, especially in a bottom-half team, and he hopes Solomon will have a standout season that could lead to a permanent transfer to Leeds.
Solomon’s contract with Tottenham runs until the summer of 2028, meaning the club has time to consider its options. However, a successful loan could open the door for his departure, allowing Spurs to raise some much-needed funds while giving the young talent a chance to flourish.
Solomon just didn’t work out at Tottenham, despite his success at Fulham and Shakhtar. It’s great to see him finding form at Leeds. We wish him all the best!

What we learned from Tottenham’s victory over Brentford: A tactical analysis
Following our 3-1 victory at home to Brentford, it’s hard to say that Tottenham didn’t look much better than they did against Arsenal.
With a much-improved performance, that included a debut goal for solanke and a goal from two of our most criticised players, what exactly were the changes Ange made that had the side firing?
James Maddison: Midfield Maestro
Tottenham fans may have noticed that James Maddison played a significant role in Spurs’ 3-1 victory on Saturday against Brentford, with the English midfielder bagging himself a goal, while also playing a crucial role in the build-up to Dominic Solanke’s goal. But some Spurs fans may not have noticed the one small change that Ange Postecoglou made that had the midfielder back to his best.
If you look at Maddison’s average position across the 90 minutes, you’ll notice that he’s playing much deeper than the attacking line, with four players ahead of him.
Not only did these four attacking players in Solanke, Kulusevski, Son and Johnson give the English midfielder a plethora of attacking options to choose from with his passing, but they also opened up the game, dragging three defenders onto them, allowing Maddison to dribble from deep, completing 7 dribbles, a record for the season!
Speaking of Maddison’s passing, it also looked significantly better this game with the front 4 ahead of him, as he boasted an 88% successful passing rate, creating 3 chances, even if Dejan Kulusevski couldn’t get a goal involvement himself, his midfield role allowed to thrive.
Tottenham’s Pressing.
With Tottenham’s first goal coming as a result of pressure from Maddison, we can’t exactly talk about yesterday’s game without talking about Tottenham’s pressing system. And yesterday’s game, which was won through pressing, actually had a deeper statistical game going on behind the scenes.
