Tottenham Hotspur is working on a deal to sign Shakhtar Donetsk wide man Manor Solomon on a four-year contract.
Fulham loanee Manor Solomon could be staying in London with Tottenham Hotspur now hoping to secure his signature.
That is according to The Athletic, who report that Tottenham are leading the race to sign Solomon.
It’s claimed that Tottenham is working on a permanent deal for the winger after showing promise at Fulham.
The report notes that FIFA has ruled that all foreign players with Ukrainian clubs can suspend their contracts again.
Solomon intends to do just that but with his Shakhtar Donetsk contract ending in December, he can effectively join Spurs for free.
Shakhtar is understandably unhappy as they will lose Solomon and other players as a result of the ongoing conflict with Russia.
ONE in Solomon’s native Israel also claims that the winger seems to be heading for Tottenham this summer.
They claim that Tottenham plans to give Solomon a four-year deal and keep the wide man in London.
Solomon is understood to earn around £2.5million-a-year or £ 48,000 a week, money that isn’t beyond Tottenham.
Manor Solomon’s move will divide opinion at Tottenham
You first have to question just who is making this decision anyway; Tottenham doesn’t have a manager or a director of football as things stand.
Solomon has also been through a rather mixed season with Fulham.
The 23-year-old has only started four Premier League games for Marco Silva and has played just 55 minutes in his last five games.
Solomon has shown talent though, enjoying a quite ridiculous run in February and early March as he scored in five consecutive games in all competitions.
That resulted in pundit Jamie Redknapp branding Solomon ‘very explosive’ back in March.
Solomon hasn’t shown that same goalscoring ability since though and Tottenham is putting a lot of faith in him to make a step up in North London.
Israel International will likely feature as competition for Son Heung-min with Tottenham hoping to land a bargain addition.
