It looks like Manor Solomon will soon be making his way to Tottenham Hotspur, and football pundit Jamie Redknapp is ready with his analysis of the player.
Multiple sources like The Athletic have indicated that the 23-year-old forward is about to join Tottenham.
Fans of the Premier League will surely remember Manor Solomon for his performance at Fulham in the previous season.
Solomon started his opening match against Liverpool, only to sustain a heavy knee injury during a later practice session.
After coming back from his injury, Solomon played phenomenally, netting five goals in as many matches and making significant contributions to Fulham’s successful season.
Both Redknapp and Tottenham’s decision-makers seem to have been captivated by Solomon’s impressive run of form.
As Solomon’s contract with Shakhtar Donetsk is expiring, Tottenham can land him without any transfer fee.
Having recently lost Lucas Moura and Arnaut Danjuma, Tottenham sees Solomon, an Israeli international, as the ideal replacement.
Redknapp lauds Tottenham’s potential signing, Solomon
Before Fulham’s 3-0 loss to Arsenal last season, Redknapp described Solomon as a “Pocket rocket” and praised him highly for his excellent form.
The pundit highlighted Solomon’s confidence, ability to easily bypass opponents, position awareness, and composure as his prime qualities. Further, he lauded him as a proficient striker.
Fulham will certainly miss Solomon who couldn’t be signed permanently, more so with the impending departure of Willian and Neeskens Kebano this summer.
Contrarily, Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou will be thrilled to bring in a proven Premier League player without any transfer fee. Given Solomon’s age, he still has the potential to further improve.
Many Tottenham enthusiasts echo Redknapp’s admiration for the young Solomon.
While Solomon might not be a strong player when it comes to aerial duels due to his smaller stature, he compensates for it with quick footwork, allowing him to escape tight situations.
One of Solomon’s signature moves last season was to cut in from the left wing and striking with his stronger right foot. Expect to see this move mirrored in the upcoming season, only this time in North London instead of beside The Thames.
