This one’s been coming for a while, but it’s nice to have it finally settled — Manor Solomon completed a season-long loan to Championship side Leeds United today, after turning down approaches from clubs on the continent.
Manor Solomon has joined Championship side Leeds United on loan for the 2024/25 season.
Good luck, Manor!

Solomon wasn’t going to feature much for Spurs this season, especially now that Tottenham have signed Wilson Odobert, a player who is just as quick, arguably a better dribbler, and significantly younger. If you’re being charitable (and heck, why not be charitable?) Manor Solomon is coming off of what was basically a season-long injury last year that he picked up in matchweek 3, so going to a place where he can get significant minutes and rebuild his career (or his transfer market?) makes a lot of sense.
Y’all already know what I think about him and the circumstances of his original signing, so I won’t go into that again, but this is probably the best possible circumstance for all parties. Solomon also continues what has been a pretty spectacular summer of player departures as Johan Lange has now shipped out almost all of the fringe players and deadwood in last year’s side. (We’re still waiting for Giovani Lo Celso and Sergio Reguilon news, Johan.)
Good luck to Manor this season.
