Tottenham Hotspur have paused transfer negotiations with West Ham United over Manor Solomon due to financial disagreements. The east London club, relegated to the Championship last season, offered around £5million but baulked at the bonuses Spurs demanded for a potential Premier League return. League standing (final 2025 table -- new season not yet under way): 17th in Premier League, 41 pts, 10W-11D-17L from 38 games, recent form WLDWW.
What happened with Manor Solomon?
Solomon, 27, joined Tottenham Hotspur on a free transfer in 2023 after a loan spell at Fulham. He made five Premier League appearances under Ange Postecoglou before a season-ending knee injury. Last term, he spent the 2024-25 campaign on loan at Leeds United, contributing 10 goals and 13 assists in 39 league games to help secure promotion.
Why did the West Ham deal collapse?
West Ham’s £5million bid fell short of Tottenham Hotspur’s valuation, particularly the performance-related add-ons tied to promotion. With West Ham now in the Championship, Spurs are holding out for a package that reflects Solomon’s potential impact in the top flight.
What’s next for the Israeli winger?
Fiorentina remain in talks but have yet to meet Tottenham Hotspur’s asking price. Solomon, who had 30 appearances and nine goal contributions for Villarreal and Fiorentina in 2025-26, could explore other options if no agreement is reached. His Israel national team record stands at 49 caps.
