Tottenham Hotspur Forward ‘Wants to Leave’ with Next Club Already Decided – Report | OneFootball

Manor Solomon Makes Summer Intentions Clear as Tottenham Face Key Decision

Manor Solomon’s loan spell at Leeds United has ended on a high – and quite literally so. The Israeli international delivered one of the defining moments of the Championship season by scoring a dramatic stoppage-time winner against Plymouth, sealing Leeds’ promotion to the Premier League as champions. His jubilant celebration, shirt off and arms raised in front of the travelling fans, captured not only the emotion of the moment but the strong bond Solomon has formed with the Elland Road faithful.

Solomon’s contribution across the campaign has been nothing short of outstanding: 10 goals, 13 assists in 41 appearances. More than just numbers, his flair, work rate and ability to produce in clutch moments have made him a cult hero among Leeds fans. As Football London reported, he was “seen enjoying himself in front of the away end at Plymouth… dancing in front of the fans and even starting chants.” That kind of chemistry is not easy to find or replicate elsewhere.

The social media aftermath was equally telling. “Champions babyyyyyy,” Solomon wrote on Instagram. Leeds teammate Pascal Struijk added fuel to the speculation with his comment: “Sign him up.”

Spurs Contract and Uncertain Future

Solomon is still a Tottenham player, contracted until 2028. But with his parent club in a state of flux and his own stock rising fast, the question now looms: where does his future lie?

Tottenham must soon weigh up their options. Solomon’s January comments to The Athletic remain highly relevant: “I love it here. I love the fans. I love the club. I love the players, the manager… The door is really open.” His affection for Leeds appears genuine, but with reported interest from other Premier League sides and abroad, Tottenham might not be the only club making decisions this summer.

As Football London noted, “Solomon would certainly consider a move to Leeds if they got promoted.” That condition is now met. The ball, however, is still firmly in Spurs’ court.

Managerial Uncertainty Adds Complexity

An additional layer of uncertainty comes from the Tottenham dugout. Ange Postecoglou’s own future is reportedly under review, and that could have a direct bearing on Solomon’s. A new manager may either integrate him into their system or look to move him on.

This potential reset at Spurs means all returning loanees will be evaluated afresh. A pre-season role could await Solomon, but whether that translates into sustained first-team involvement is another matter entirely.

Football London highlights that “any new head coach might want to look at Solomon first before deciding on the future for a player who has a contract until 2028.” For now, Solomon remains in limbo.

What Spurs Should Consider

From Tottenham’s perspective, the decision is tactical as well as financial. Do they hold on to a revitalised and now Premier League-proven asset, or capitalise on his form with a sale that could bring in valuable funds?

Leeds will surely push to keep him, and for good reason. He’s a player who not only fits Daniel Farke’s system but also embodies the spirit of a team determined to re-establish itself in the top flight.

But Solomon’s resurgence could also make him a wildcard weapon for Tottenham – particularly if Postecoglou (or any incoming manager) sees value in integrating a dynamic winger with proven final-third quality.

Our View – EPL Index Analysis

From a Spurs supporter’s lens, the Manor Solomon situation is a classic case of ‘what could have been’ – but doesn’t have to remain so.

Let’s not forget: when Solomon first arrived at Tottenham, he came with real pedigree from Shakhtar Donetsk and Fulham. Injury issues hampered his progress in North London, but his time at Leeds has reaffirmed what he can do when fit and firing.

There’s an argument that letting him go permanently – especially now that he’s adapted so seamlessly to English football – would be short-sighted. In a squad that has often lacked natural width and creativity on the flanks, Solomon might yet offer exactly what Tottenham need: incisive dribbling, direct running and moments of individual brilliance.

However, fans will also understand that football is a business. If Leeds come forward with a competitive bid and Solomon himself is keen to stay, it might be best to sanction the move and reinvest the proceeds. But that decision must be made based on football merit, not just balance sheet maths.

Crucially, if Postecoglou does remain, his voice should be the loudest in the room. His vision must dictate whether Solomon stays, not circumstance or expedience.

After all, as supporters, we’ve seen too many talents slip through the net – let’s not make that mistake again.
