West Ham United are closing in on the signing of Tottenham Hotspur winger Manor Solomon, with discussions reaching an advanced stage, according to transfer reporter Fabrizio Romano. Talks had briefly stalled over promotion-related add-ons, but West Ham have now resumed negotiations with their London rivals for Solomon. The 27-year-old Israel international is set to end his three-year stint at Tottenham in pursuit of regular first-team football. Having joined Spurs on a free transfer from Shakhtar Donetsk in 2023, Solomon’s early progress in North London was hampered by injuries. Loan spells across Europe, most recently with Leeds United, Villarreal and Fiorentina, showcased his talent when afforded consistent game time. He was particularly impressive during a standout campaign with Leeds, netting 10 goals and recording 12 assists in 39 Championship appearances to underline his attacking threat. Despite featuring in Tottenham’s pre-season fixtures under Roberto De Zerbi, Solomon remains surplus to requirements in North London as Spurs work towards bolstering their attacking unit. With Fiorentina and newly promoted Hull City monitoring his situation, West Ham acted swiftly to secure his signature. For West Ham, securing Solomon addresses a key need ahead of the new campaign. The Hammers were in need of a dynamic, direct wide player following Crysencio Summerville’s departure to Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal. Solomon’s Championship experience makes him an exciting addition as West Ham aim for immediate promotion back to the Premier League. The overall transfer package is expected to be around £10m, with final details still being finalised. With all parties aligned and negotiations nearing completion, West Ham expect to formally announce Solomon’s arrival at the London Stadium in the coming days.
