London (East London Times) August 11, 2026 – West Ham United have reached a formal agreement in principle with Tottenham Hotspur to complete the permanent signing of winger Manor Solomon in a deal valued at up to £7 million. As reported by Sam Tabuteau of Standard Sport, the transfer comprises an initial fee of £5 million paid upfront, with a further £2 million structured through performance-related add-ons, alongside a 10 per cent sell-on clause secured by Tottenham Hotspur. The 27-year-old Israeli international has been cleared to undergo his medical examination ahead of finalizing terms on a three-year contract at the London Stadium, which includes an option to extend for an additional 12 months.

What Are the Key Terms of the £7m Transfer Agreement Between West Ham and Tottenham?

The agreement between the two rival London clubs brings to an end weeks of negotiation regarding the permanent future of the wide attacker.

As reported by Sam Tabuteau of Standard Sport, the total package agreed between the executives at both clubs stands at £7 million, with West Ham paying an initial £5 million fee to secure the player’s rights immediately.

The transaction also incorporates £2 million in potential add-on payments tied to individual appearances and team achievements, ensuring Tottenham retain contingent upside from the player’s future performances.

Furthermore, Spurs have successfully negotiated a 10 per cent sell-on clause into the transfer, guaranteeing the north London side a percentage of any profit generated should West Ham transfer Solomon to another club during his tenure in east London.

Following initial delays where the transaction was temporarily paused due to financial considerations and structural balances, both clubs successfully ironed out the outstanding contractual points.

The winger has been assigned the No. 10 shirt at the London Stadium—a squad number left vacant following the departure of Lucas Paquetá in the January transfer window.

As reported by Tashan Deniran-Alleyne of Standard Sport, Solomon expressed his enthusiastic outlook regarding the move, stating:

“I’m really happy to be here, happy to be a Hammer, and I can’t wait to get started! I know West Ham United has a rich history both in the Premier League and in Europe. It’s a club that won a European trophy just three years ago, and I think this is where the club should be, and I’m here to help the club and to be where it belongs.”

Solomon further detailed his discussions with the club hierarchy, stating:

“I’ve spoken both with the manager and with Nils. They showed me the project, what they want to build there. Of course, our first task is to get promoted, to go back to the Premier League. I really like all the ideas and everything they have presented for me. I’ll try to give my all in the first season and then in the seasons ahead. I want to be here for a long time and I want to make the fans really happy.”

How Does Manor Solomon’s Move Fit Into West Ham’s Summer Transfer Strategy?

The addition of Solomon represents the third major senior acquisition for West Ham during the current transfer window as the club restructures its squad.

As reported by Sam Tabuteau of Standard Sport, the Hammers previously announced the arrival of experienced defender Joel Veltman on a free transfer following his departure from Brighton & Hove Albion, alongside triggering a £1 million purchase option to permanently sign Venezuelan winger Keiber Lamadrid from Deportivo La Guaira.

The arrival of Solomon is designed to replenish West Ham’s attacking depth following high-profile offensive departures. The club recently sanctioning the sale of Dutch winger Crysencio Summerville to Saudi Pro

League outfit Al-Hilal in a deal worth approximately £60 million created an immediate void on the flanks. Furthermore, the financial flexibility for this recruitment was aided by the previous transfer of Portuguese midfielder Mateus Fernandes to Tottenham in an £85 million transaction.

As reported by Tashan Deniran-Alleyne of Standard Sport, West Ham’s recruitment drive remains active beyond Solomon’s arrival, with the club making inquiries to Arsenal regarding the availability of winger Reiss Nelson to further bolster their options out wide.

What Is the Background Behind Manor Solomon’s Departure From Tottenham?

Manor Solomon originally arrived in English football when he joined Fulham on loan from Ukrainian side Shakhtar Donetsk for the 2022/23 campaign. Following impressive individual displays in West London, Tottenham Hotspur secured his signature on a free transfer in the summer of 2023, signing the winger to a five-year contract.

However, Solomon’s tenure at Tottenham was severely curtailed by physical setbacks. As reported by Alex Young of Standard Sport, the Israeli forward made only six senior competitive appearances for Spurs—his last coming as a substitute against Liverpool in September 2023—before sustaining a major meniscus injury to his right knee that required surgery and sidelined him for the remainder of that season.

Seeking regular playing time to recover match fitness, Solomon embarked on successive loan spells. He assisted Leeds United during their campaign in the Championship before spending periods abroad.

As reported by Alex Young of Standard Sport, Solomon was loaned to Spanish side Villarreal in September 2025, making 11 appearances, before being recalled and subsequently joining Italian Serie A club Fiorentina for the remainder of the 2025/26 season, where he scored twice in 19 appearances.

Despite participating in pre-season preparations under Tottenham management, Solomon was not expected to secure a regular starting place in north London. As reported by Alex Young of Standard Sport, Solomon’s representative, Shlomi Ben Ezra, commented on the situation prior to the transfer agreement, stating:

“Manor isn’t expected to be a starter at Tottenham, at least not in the near future. If I were a Tottenham player, I’d also aim to join a club where I’d be in the starting line-up, that’s the goal. A player’s career is short, and after eight years in Europe, Manor wants to make an impact.”

Ben Ezra added:

“I think, without any personal bias, he has to play. He has a place at Tottenham, but some people think otherwise. He was also quite successful last year at Fiorentina, aside from a month and a half of bad luck and injury. I’m sure he’ll continue; he just needs the spot he deserves.”

How Will This Development Affect West Ham and Tottenham Hotspur Moving Forward?

This transfer development serves specific strategic purposes for both London clubs and their respective fanbases:

• For West Ham United and Their Supporters: The acquisition provides proven international dynamic wide quality at a modest initial financial outlay. For a squad targeting promotion and immediate recovery to top-flight football, Solomon brings direct dribbling, ball progression, and top-tier experience. Inheriting the symbolic No. 10 jersey places immediate expectation on Solomon to act as a primary creative catalyst in modernizing West Ham’s attacking unit.
• For Tottenham Hotspur: The deal enables Tottenham to streamline their squad by reallocating a peripheral player who fell outside first-team starting plans. Recouping up to £7 million for a player originally signed on a free transfer provides net-positive financial return, while retaining a 10 per cent sell-on clause protects the club against potential financial inflation should Solomon re-establish high market value in east London.
• For Manor Solomon: The permanent move provides long-term stability after successive temporary loan assignments across England, Spain, and Italy. At 27 years of age, securing a three-year contract with guaranteed first-team opportunities offers the winger the platform needed to re-establish consistency and peak physical condition.
