He looked decent for Fulham... them again, so did Ryan Sessengon!

Funnily enough, if you flip his name; 'Solomon Manor' sounds more like a Country Club & Spa resort!

He’s 23 and nearly got 40 caps. That’s not too bad. He loves that cut in from right and whip into the far corner. Very sonesque.

My understanding from the various Ange tactics vids is that this isn't really what Ange, primarily, wants his wide players to do. What am I missing?

He's an impact sub as far as I can see, but we need those sorts of players too, they can't all be world beaters...

I assume he'll be to Son/Kulu what Richi was bought to be for Kane...
supposedly!

impact sub/like for like replacement... Strength in depth... but not necessarily a starter. All those things.

Spurs signing Manor Solomon explained as similar transfers expected to follow

Tottenham have another new signing heading through the door this week in Manor Solomon and he fits the type of transfer the club often look at
www.football.london www.football.london

The winger, who was on loan at Fulham last season, did have a contract with Shakhtar until the end of this year but FIFA granted the right to all non-Ukrainian nationals playing in that country to be able to suspend their own contracts amid the conflict in the country, a suspension which extends beyond the end of Solomon's deal.


Tottenham announced last week that with the friendly match next month they will "make a financial contribution and an additional donation of net proceeds from ticket sales to ‘Shakhtar Social.'


He has plenty of experience across the game, in the Premier League, Champions League, Europa League, FA Cup and also in the international game with 35 appearances for Israel and seven goals.


He's a tricky winger with a little burst of acceleration. He needs to improve his assist output, but it's worth pointing out that the goals he has scored in the Champions League in recent years have come against Manchester City, Real Madrid twice and Atalanta. He does rise to the occasion.

In the Premier League last season, Solomon scored against Brighton, Brentford, Wolves and Nottingham Forest and in the FA Cup against Leeds during a great run.

Solomon had to overcome a tough start to his time at Fulham. The 23-year-old made his Premier League debut in a draw against Liverpool only to suffer a knee injury in a behind-closed-doors friendly shortly after. That required surgery and meant the winger did not return again until 2023, named on the bench against Leicester in January.

He slowly began to build up his confidence and fitness and Fulham boss Marco Silva started to unleash him in fits and bursts from the bench to terrorise tired defences late in matches.

It worked a treat as Solomon scored in five consecutive matches stretching from mid-February into early March, a couple of the goals wonderful curling efforts. He became the first Israeli to score in three or more consecutive Premier League fixtures since Ronny Rosenthal in 1992, a couple of years before the striker joined Tottenham from Liverpool.

Although he did not become a regular starter after that goal glut, Fulham and Silva had wanted to keep Solomon, only for Spurs to enter the picture.
