According to Fabrizio Romano, Manor Solomon will get a physical on Saturday, August 24, before departing Tottenham for Leeds United.
Late on August 23, the Italian transfer journalist revealed via X that the Israeli had turned down a counteroffer from Getafe and that his move to Whites was now in the “final stages”.
The 25-year-old is “on the verge” of relocating to Elland Road, where he will join former North London teammate Joe Rodon after the Welsh defender’s £10 million move earlier this summer, according to a report the same evening from Spurs-linked agent Paul O Keefe [Romano, 2 July].
“Manor Solomon set for medical tests at Leeds United on Saturday,” Romano continued. After turning down a deal from Getafe, he is leaving Spurs because his first priority has always been England. Finalize your deal with LUFC.
Joe Rodon will be followed by Manor Solomon to Leeds United
Since Spurs signed homegrown player Archie Gray to begin the exodus of stars, Leeds and the team have been linked frequently this summer.
Top players left Elland Road as a result of the first of three departure clauses being activated, with Georginio Rutter moving to Brighton and Crysencio Summerville to West Ham.
The Whites’ recruitment department appears to have finally woken up again after obtaining Largie Ramazani from Almeria on August 22. It is unclear why the team has generally waited until this late in the window to fill the gaps that were left behind. However, another swift transaction for Solomon supports this.
Oliver Skipp, a former Norwich loanee, was reportedly very interested in joining Daniel Farke at Spurs this summer [GiveMeSport, 1 July], but he has since moved to Leicester in a deal that is expected to be worth more than £20 million [Sky Sports, 19 August].
The Leeds manager is rumored to still desire a new midfield player and a full-back if Solomon passes his medical and signs [The Athletic, 16 August].
While Joe Rothwell has joined on loan from Bournemouth, there has been talk of a straight replacement for Glen Kamara ever since the Finn left for Rennes [Leeds Live, July 13].
Although Farke acquired Jayden Bogle from Sheffield United, he lost Jamie Shackleton, a versatile reserve option, and right-back Gray on loan to Burnley this summer.
