West Ham are closing in on the permanent signing of Tottenham winger Manor Solomon. While a deal for the Israel international has yet to be finalised, it is now near to completion.
Transfer details
West Ham are believed to have reached an initial agreement over a transfer worth £5 million up front, plus a further £2 million in add-ons. Spurs have also reportedly added a 10 per cent sell-on clause into the deal. A medical is expected to take place this weekend, with an official announcement to follow as West Ham secure their third signing of the summer.
West Ham's summer business
On Thursday, the Hammers announced the arrival of free agent defender Joel Veltman on a one-year contract following his departure from Brighton. In June, they triggered their £1 million option to make Venezuelan winger Keiber Lamadrid’s loan move from Deportivo La Guaira permanent. It had been reported that a deal for Solomon was on hold due to financial reasons, but those issues now appear to have been ironed out, with the 27-year-old set to bolster West Ham’s attack following the departure of Crysencio Summerville to Saudi Pro League club Al-Hilal for around £60 million. West Ham also sold Portuguese midfielder Mateus Fernandes to Tottenham following their relegation from the Premier League in a deal worth £85 million.
Solomon's recent career
Solomon has featured heavily for Spurs in pre-season but played just six competitive games for the club since signing on a free transfer in 2023 from Shakhtar Donetsk, which followed a stint at Fulham. He spent the first half of last season on loan in Spain at Villarreal before being recalled in January and sent to Serie A side Fiorentina for the remainder of the campaign. Solomon previously spent time on loan at Leeds, where he earned promotion from the Championship. He will hope to do the same at West Ham this season. West Ham are in the market for several more signings before the end of the transfer window on September 1 as they look to secure promotion back to the top-flight at the first time of asking.
