Core Transfer Details
West Ham United have completed the signing of Israeli international winger Manor Solomon from Tottenham Hotspur on a three-year contract. The club has not disclosed the exact fee, but media reports suggest a £5 million base fee, up to £2 million in performance-related add-ons and a 10 percent sell-on clause. The move makes Solomon the third permanent acquisition of the summer for West Ham, following defender Joel Veltman and winger Keiber Lamadrid.
Background & Context
Solomon began his professional career with Maccabi Petah Tikvah in 2017 before moving to Shakhtar Donetsk, where he gained European exposure. A season-long loan to Fulham in 2022 produced five goals in 24 appearances. He joined Tottenham as a free agent in 2023, but a meniscus injury limited him to six appearances and two assists.
While contracted to Tottenham, Solomon enjoyed a successful loan at Leeds United in 2024/25, making 41 appearances, scoring 10 goals and providing 13 assists as Leeds secured promotion to the Premier League.
