With a deal taking time to complete for Tottenham Hotspur star Manor Solomon, Leeds United fans are growing increasingly concerned that a deal could be about to collapse.
Not only that but it has been reported that while the 25-year-old has passed a medical at Leeds ahead of a loan, the finances being offered by Leeds for Solomon are significantly different to what Spurs want.
Solomon is a Premier League-standard player but the Israel winger only managed six appearances for Spurs last season, after tearing the meniscus in his knee. He needs a loan to get back to his best ability.
Leeds had been expected to sign him after Solomon rejected a move to Getafe. But now, there are concerns regarding the length of time it is taking to get a deal done for the versatile Spurs attacker.
What Leeds sources have said about Solomon loan move
As always, the Yorkshire Evening Post are on hand to deliver an overriding update on news regarding a move for Solomon. They say that a move is very much on with a medical completed over the weekend.
It is believed that Solomon’s deal is taking longer than other Leeds transfers at this stage, even if Largie Ramazani’s move was also drawn out until the club finally confirmed the £10m signing of the Belgian.
Talks are ongoing and the YEP say that a deal for Solomon is still on and remains possible. Given he has passed a medical however, it would be a surprise to see it fall and in turn, a big frustration for fans.
Where would Solomon play in Leeds XI under Daniel Farke?
Leeds now seem to be aflush with wingers. Dan James and Wilfried Gnonto remain from last season while Brenden Aaronson is back at the club, and already the club’s top scorer this season with two league goals.
Ramazani is largely a winger and is unlikely to be given responsibility as a no.10. His pace is much more suited to getting in behind, rather than being the player to thread the ball into an on-rushing speedster.
Solomon is just as fast, but the pocket-sized Spurs star has the technicality and the vision to be able to operate as a 10 behind the striker. A player that scored in Georginio Rutter’s second start for Leeds.
