Leeds United Weighing Options on Manor Solomon Loan Deal
Leeds United’s loan signing of Manor Solomon from Tottenham has yet to yield the desired results, sparking speculation about the winger’s future at Elland Road.
Solomon’s injury-plagued spell has limited him to just seven appearances, with only two league starts, and a single assist to his name. His fitness issues were well-documented before joining Leeds, and the club’s inability to get the best out of him has raised questions about the loan deal’s viability.
Journalist Graeme Bailey, speaking to LeedsUnited.news, shed light on the situation, suggesting that Leeds are unlikely to terminate Solomon’s loan in January.
“I don’t think it gets to that extent,” Bailey said. “With Djed Spence, it was off-field issues as well, it was more his conduct than his performances. Solomon’s a good professional. He was brought in to compete. Leeds have a high-calibre squad, it was never going to be easy for anyone to walk in there.”
Bailey continued, “They’re relatively happy to have him around, a body. Did they bring Solomon in and think he’d be the best player in the Championship? Probably not, but from what I’m hearing, he’s a good professional and they’re pretty happy.”
Despite Bailey’s reassurances, Leeds United’s patience may wear thin if Solomon’s fitness issues persist. The club’s decision to pursue the loan deal despite knowing about his injury history may come under scrutiny.
Leeds United season ticket holder and journalist Kris Smith noted, “It’s not Solomon’s fault that he’s getting constant setbacks on his way to finding his best form, but Leeds knew what they were getting when they pursued this signing.”
With the January transfer window looming, Leeds United will reassess Solomon’s contribution and decide whether to persist with the loan deal or explore alternative options.
