Leeds United ace "feeling the love" could turn into summer transfer priority | OneFootball

Leeds fans will be hoping that this loan star will be making his move permanent after this season.

Leeds United have been ruthless in front of goal since the turn of the New Year, with Tottenham Hotspur loanee Manor Solomon being one of the main contributors to the exciting attack at Elland Road.

The 25-year-old endured a difficult start to life at Leeds, with a small hamstring issue paired with the incredible depth Leeds have in the wide areas stopping the Israeli from maintaining a place in the starting 11.

Over the Christmas period and into the New Year, though, it seems like Solomon has found the attacking prowess that earned him a move to a 'Big Six' Premier League side in 2023.

A goal and an assist in Tuesday's win over Watford saw him pick up his 11th goal contribution in as many league games for Leeds and his eighth since the turn of the year.

In fact, there's only been one game where Solomon hasn't been directly involved in a goal in 2025 - the dull 0-0 stalemate between Leeds and Burnley at the end of January.

It comes as no surprise that Solomon is a man Leeds fans want to see at the club after his loan ends at the end of the season - a feeling that the Israeli international is noticing on the pitch.

Solomon sings Leeds praises after Player of the Month win

Upon winning the January Player of the Month for Leeds United in a month when he scored two and created two in four league games, as well as providing an assist in their FA Cup win over Harrogate Town, Solomon admitted that he is enjoying his time at Elland Road.

Speaking to club media, Solomon said: "I really appreciate it. I feel the love and the warmth of the fans and I just want to make them happy, to keep going, to keep improving myself and to help the team as much as possible.

"So far, I've been feeling really good about everything. I'm really happy to be here, really happy with the fans and all aspects of the club and I just want to keep going. We have a really big goal ahead of us, we're doing really well but we want to maintain it and make sure that we're all celebrating at the end of the season."

A productive month has made Solomon's signing a priority for Leeds fans

Manor Solomon's form at the start of the season left a bit to be desired for many Leeds fans, who were expecting a lot from the Tottenham winger, especially after he contributed an assist on his debut against Hull City from the bench.

That was the only goal contribution Solomon managed in his first couple of months at the club, and even after a brace against Swansea City in November, it wouldn't be until late December that Soloman found his way onto the scoresheet again.

But the last few months have been electric from the winger. His partnership with Dan James has kept both Willy Gnonto and Largie Ramazani - two quality wingers at this level - in mere supporting roles over the past couple of months.

Understandably, Leeds fans are eager to see this duo in the top flight - but the Whites will have to pry the Israeli away from Premier League giants, Tottenham, to do so.

TEAMtalk has reported that Spurs are yet to make a final decision on Solomon and, with the winger under contract until 2028, a permanent deal may not be as straightforward as Leeds hope.

Nevertheless, Leeds fans will be hoping that the love for this loan player remains permanent this coming summer. After a fantastic start to 2025, it's a deal that feels like a priority if promotion is achieved.
