Tottenham Hotspur are eyeing a possible move to sign Fulham winger Manor Solomon in the summer transfer window, as per The Athletic’s Jack Pitt-Brooke. The Israel international had joined the Cottagers last summer on a loan move from Shakhtar Donetsk after failing to secure a permanent transfer due to FIFA rules.

How Spurs Can Sign Solomon on Free Transfer
Even though the Lilywhites are still in search of a new manager to take the helm at the club next season and replace the departed Antonio Conte, they appear to be continuing with their pursuit of some of their targets regardless.

Pitt-Brooke adds that Spurs will be able to sign Solomon on a free transfer in the summer after FIFA confirmed that he can leave his parent club Shakhtar in the summer by cancelling their contract. It is also explained that Fulham are keen on the possibility of signing Solomon on a permanent basis after his loan spell there.
However, Tottenham are reported to be at the front of the queue to sign the 23-year-old if he decides to leave Craven Cottage and are ready to hijack any move for him. With that being said, no decision has been yet about his future with Solomon expected to field other offers too.
Could Solomon Be a Good Fit for Spurs?
The 23-year-old winger has had a topsy-turvy campaign with Fulham and spent a large chunk of the first half of the campaign dealing with a knee injury, which kept him out until after the World Cup break. However, Solomon is a very talented winger who has shown his ability to produce something remarkable every now and then.
He scored in four consecutive Premier League games in the February-March period, which included some amazing long-range efforts. With that being said, those are the only goals he’s scored in this campaign as he only managed to start seven games across all competitions for Fulham

The 23-year-old – who has been labelled as an ‘underrated baller’ and is rumoured to earn £20,000-a-week wages – is an impressive dribbler and has an amazing long-range shooting ability, but is also inconsistent and still a bit raw to thrive in the Premier League. With that being said, Solomon could be a solid signing on a free transfer – his impressive goal-scoring ability, tendency to make an impact from the bench, and explosive style can help make him solid competition for Son Heung-Min.
