Active Negotiations for a Permanent Exit
Tottenham Hotspur is in the final stages of reshaping its squad, with Israeli winger Manor Solomon officially deemed surplus to requirements. Reports from The i Paper and The Athletic confirm that Spurs are seeking a permanent transfer for the 27-year-old, moving on from a player who has spent his recent seasons on loan at clubs including Leeds, Villarreal, and Fiorentina.
Manager Roberto De Zerbi has made it clear that Solomon does not feature in his tactical plans for the 2026-27 campaign. Despite the winger participating in Tottenham’s pre-season tour, the club is prioritizing his departure to clear space for new attacking reinforcements, with Liverpool’s Cody Gakpo reportedly high on the club’s target list.
The Bidding War: West Ham vs. Hull City
West Ham United currently leads the race for Solomon’s signature, with negotiations ongoing between the two clubs. However, newly promoted Hull City has emerged as a surprise suitor. The Tigers, looking to bolster their squad to ensure survival in the Premier League, are actively vying for the winger, creating a potential bidding war.
Tottenham has set a valuation of approximately £20 million for the player. While industry analysts suggest this figure is high given Solomon’s injury-plagued tenure at the club, the involvement of multiple suitors may push an opening bid above the £10 million mark. Such a deal would represent a significant profit for Spurs, who acquired the player for roughly £5 million following his departure from Shakhtar Donetsk.
Assessing Solomon’s Spurs Tenure
Solomon’s time at Tottenham has been defined by inconsistency and physical setbacks. While he demonstrated flashes of technical brilliance—most notably providing two assists in a 5-2 victory over Burnley—his impact has been limited to just five senior appearances for the club. Constant injury issues have prevented him from finding a rhythm, and his previous loan spells have yielded mixed results, failing to secure him a permanent path back into the starting lineup at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
For Tottenham, the priority remains finalizing this exit alongside other planned departures, including captain Cristian Romero, who is subject to interest from Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid. For the player, a move to West Ham or Hull City offers a vital opportunity to reset his career in an environment where he can secure consistent first-team football.
