BEST NEWS SO FAR: Jawdropping Transfer update coming days to transfer deadline as Leeds seal Loan move to SIGN Top Class EPL Attacking midfielder who is better than Rutter and also teammate with Archie Gray at recent Club Amid medicals fix.
A reliable FA-registered agent and trusted Spurs source reported on X on 23 August that Leeds United are close to securing another late signing, with a medical possibly scheduled for Saturday, 24 August.
This versatile attacker would be the second of four signings that Daniel Farke is aiming to complete before the transfer window closes. This follows the confirmed acquisition of Largie Ramazani from Almeria, as reported by *The Athletic* on 16 August, after the club lost several key players.
O’Keefe wrote, “Manor Solomon is on the verge of joining Leeds on loan. If all goes well, he could even have a medical tomorrow.”
If the deal goes through, Solomon will join Bournemouth’s midfielder as a loan addition to Elland Road this summer after completing the move from Tottenham.
Leeds United is set to sign the Spurs player following the Largie Ramazani deal, although the activity in the transfer window may have come too late. However, the Whites are now moving with purpose after Georginio Rutter became the latest high-profile departure.
Farke will hope that Solomon and Ramazani can help replace the output of the former Leeds United star who left for Brighton, as well as Crysencio Summerville’s move to West Ham. However, these are big shoes to fill, especially since Solomon only made six appearances for Tottenham last season.
During a loan spell at Fulham the previous season, Solomon scored five goals, mainly as a substitute, following a lengthy recovery from a knee injury. He will be looking for more involvement under Farke if this move is completed.
Dan James, Mateo Joseph, and Brenden Aaronson were among the standout performers in Leeds’ much-needed first win of the season against Sheffield Wednesday, suggesting that a strong attacking unit could be formed again.
The 49ers should have had contingency plans in place to replace key players like Summerville, Rutter, and Archie Gray as soon as their exit clauses were triggered. Instead, they have been scrambling after the fact, missing out on targets like Jonathan Rowe from Norwich (*HITC*, 20 August).
Starting the season with three winless games was not how the Whites’ owners envisioned their second season in charge, especially after last summer’s chaos. With less than a week left in the transfer window, the club still needs to sign another midfielder and full-back to give Farke the tools he needs to challenge for promotion.
