Leeds United transfer bulletin as Manor Solomon's future assessed amid loan termination rumours

Manor Solomon has flattered to deceive since joining Leeds United on a temporary basis. The wide man, recruited on a season-long loan deal from Tottenham Hotspur in the summer transfer window, has found regular first team football hard to come by at Elland Road.

The Israel international missed four Championship fixtures through injury between September and October, but has struggled to hit top form since regaining full fitness. Solomon was handed just his third league start against Queens Park Rangers a week ago and failed to shine, coming off with 18 minutes to go to be replaced by Daniel James.

Five of Solomon's eight appearances for the Whites have come from off the bench. His below-par performances has led to talk of United terminating his loan early in the January window. The Whites faced an almost-identical situation last term when they cut Djed Spence's stay short and sent him back to Tottenham.

Former United goalkeeper Paul Robinson told MOT Leeds News: "It’s been really tough for him with injuries. He started really well and he’s a top-class player. It was a really good deal for Leeds to get him on loan because I expect other teams also wanted him.

“It was a real coup signing for Leeds, started really well and then got injured. It’s a long season in the Championship so I don’t think there will be any call for him to be sent back. He’s someone the manager will utilise.

“[Largie] Ramazani has been injured, as has James, so Solomon is another option for him. With two games per week coming before the end of the season, with the injuries they’ve got, I don’t see Leeds replacing him with Solomon with someone of a similar quality. It’s just a case of getting him back to his best between now and the end of the season.”

Solomon is currently away with his national team and is expected to return to Thorp Arch next week ahead of their meeting with Swansea City on Sunday, November 24.
