Manor Solomon is expected to make the move to Tottenham Hotspur this week and it is the type of transfer that will always catch the eye of the north London club.
The Israel international, who turns 24 later this month, will arrive on a free transfer for Ange Postecoglou's squad if all is smoothed over with FIFA and Shakhtar Donetsk. 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.
Spurs play the Ukrainian club in a friendly at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on August 6 and Solomon could end up lining up against his old side. The young winger has previously spoken about being in Kyiv at the time of the Russian invasion in February 2022 and waking to the sound of explosions.
