Pole position: Leeds leading race to sign £15m forward keen on the move
Leeds United Lead the Race for “Amazing” £15m Forward Eager to Join Elland Road
With Premier League promotion now secured, Leeds United are wasting no time in stepping up their summer transfer plans—and one exciting target appears to be within reach.
Leeds Turn Focus to Strengthening Squad Post-Promotion
After a brief dip in form in March, Leeds responded with four consecutive victories, clinching promotion with two matches to spare. With their return to the top flight confirmed, Daniel Farke and the club can now solidify their summer strategy, with reinforcements expected across several key positions.
Despite their success, goalkeeping remains a concern. Illan Meslier has made a number of costly errors this season, prompting the club to consider a move for Wolverhampton Wanderers’ Sam Johnstone as a potential replacement.
In midfield, Leeds are also reportedly preparing an offer for Sporting CP’s Hidemasa Morita. Meanwhile, Kalvin Phillips—currently out of favor at Manchester City—has shown interest in a possible return to his boyhood club.
Leeds in Pole Position for Manor Solomon
While fresh signings are a priority, retaining or securing permanent deals for key contributors is also on the agenda. According to GiveMeSport, Tottenham Hotspur winger Manor Solomon is open to a permanent move to Elland Road, with Leeds currently leading the race for his signature.
A £15 million bid may be enough to convince Spurs to part ways with the Israeli international, who is also attracting interest from Everton, Southampton, and clubs abroad.
Solomon’s Form Justifies £15m Price Tag
The 25-year-old has been instrumental in Leeds’ promotion push, scoring nine goals and registering 11 assists in 37 Championship appearances—six of which have come in his last four matches alone.
Beyond the numbers, Solomon has also stood out in key attacking metrics when compared to other players in similar roles, suggesting he’s more than ready to make the step back up to the Premier League. The winger has previously been described as “amazing” by media outlets and pundits alike during his time in the top flight.
Given his form, versatility, and Premier League experience, Leeds would be wise to finalize a permanent deal for Solomon this summer as they prepare to reestablish themselves in the top tier.
