Tottenham sign ‘Son Heung-min back-up striker’ Solomon “Dream come true to join big club”

English Premier League (EPL) club Tottenham Hotspur has signed flanker Manor Solomon, 23.

Tottenham announced on Wednesday that they have signed Solomon, who played for Fulham in the EPL during the 2022-23 season, on a five-year contract until 2028.

The signing marks Tottenham’s third in the summer transfer window, joining Guglielmo Vicario and James Maddison.

Israel-born Solomon moved to Ukrainian side Shakhtar Donetsk in 2019, but joined Fulham on loan in June last year following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Solomon scored four goals in 19 games in the EPL despite being injured for the first half of the 2022-23 season, helping promoted Fulham to a 10th-place finish.

With the likes of Lucas Moura and Arnaut Danzuma departing ahead of the new season, Tottenham were in desperate need of a flanker, and Solomon’s arrival came at no cost to the club.

Solomon’s primary position will be on the left flank, overlapping with Son Heung-min, but he will initially play a backup role.

On joining Tottenham, Solomon said: “Joining a big club like Tottenham is like a dream come true. I’m very excited to be here,” said Solomon, 한국야동 who added: “Tottenham will have a successful season under the new manager. I’m looking forward to the new season and entertaining the fans.”
