West Ham United has opened discussions with Tottenham Hotspur about a potential move for winger Manor Solomon, according to sources familiar with the matter. The talks are preliminary, with no agreement yet reached between the two London clubs.
What the talks involve
The Israeli international, 25, joined Tottenham on a free transfer in July 2023 after his contract with Shakhtar Donetsk was suspended due to the war in Ukraine. He made 24 appearances for Spurs last season, scoring two goals and providing two assists, but has struggled for regular playing time under manager Ange Postecoglou.
West Ham is looking to add attacking depth ahead of the January transfer window. The Hammers have been monitoring Solomon's situation at Tottenham, where he is reportedly open to a move to get more minutes. The two clubs are discussing a possible loan deal with an option to buy, though no formal offer has been made.
For West Ham, signing Solomon would provide competition for spots on the wings, where Jarrod Bowen and Lucas Paquetá have been regular starters. The club is also dealing with injuries to key players, making a January addition a priority.
For Tottenham, offloading Solomon could free up a squad place and reduce the wage bill, especially if they plan to bring in reinforcements of their own. The club is expected to be active in the winter window.
Neither club has commented publicly on the talks. The next step would be for West Ham to submit a formal proposal, which could happen in the coming days.
