Report: Player rejected Aston Villa and Brighton to sign for Spurs this year

Y Net News have revealed that Manor Solomon rejected offers from multiple Premier League sides to sign for Tottenham this summer.

Solomon’s arrival at Spurs this summer has gone a bit under the radar as it has been overshadowed by bigger-money acquisitions like James Maddison, Micky Van de Ven and Brennan Johnson.

However, the 24-year-old has certainly made a promising start to his career at the North London club, having forced himself into Ange Postecoglou’s starting eleven and delivering two impressive displays against Burnley and Sheffield United.

It was reported by The Athletic back in July that Solomon had his heart set on a move for Spurs this summer and rejected the chance to return to Fulham as well as an approach from Barcelona to seal the move to N17.

Y Net News have now claimed that Brighton and Hove Albion and Aston Villa also tried to sign the Israeli international during the summer transfer window.

However, it is explained that the pacy winger only ever had eyes on the Lilywhites and thus immediately rejected the approaches from the Seagulls and the Villans.

One can see why Postecoglou really likes Solomon as he is quite aggressive and looks to take on his full-back one vs one at every opportunity, which is something that the likes of Kulusevski and Son do not do with regularity.
