Leeds United boss Daniel Farke has revealed a decision will be made over Manor Solomon once they know which league they will be playing in next season. Missing out on promotion to the Premier League last term, the West Yorkshire club look on course to return to the top flight as they top the Championship table after 34 games.

Following Monday evening's 3-1 win over second-place Sheffield United at Bramall Lane, Leeds have a five-point cushion over their nearest challengers and a seven-point advantage over Burnley in third. With 12 games of the Championship season still to play, Leeds are in a very promising position heading into the business end of the campaign.

Tottenham ace Solomon has played a huge role in their impressive season to date after making a telling impact at Elland Road since making the loan switch in late August. In his 29 games in all competitions, the 25-year-old has chipped in with seven goals and eight assists.

Tottenham and Leeds do appear to have a great relationship after striking deals involving Archie Gray, Djed Spence, Joe Rodon and Solomon over the past 18 months. Rodon was in fact on loan at Leeds last year before making his move permanent in the summer, with Leeds fans hoping Solomon follows in the defender's shoes.

Speaking ahead of this weekend's home encounter against West Bromwich Albion, Farke was asked the club's stance on loan players Solomon and Joe Rothwell.

"I always like to be in the driver seat as a club but if you have a loan agreement you're not in the driver seat, there are more or less three parties," he explained, as reported by Yorkshire Evening Post. "It's not our players, you have to totally respect they are with us, that's great, we enjoy the time and then there is a time to speak about what the future might bring.

"It's not during the season, especially during a crucial time. You sometimes start talks behind the scenes before the end of the season.

"It will be crucial for them and their mother clubs, where we will be next season. Before it's confirmed it doesn't make sense to make decisions. It will only be made when it's confirmed in which league we will play."
