Manor Solomon Signs Three-Year Deal with West Ham for £5 Million
Israeli footballer Manor Solomon, currently with Tottenham Hotspur, has officially signed with English club West Ham United. The transfer deal, announced on Saturday, is valued at five million pounds sterling, with an additional two million in potential bonuses. The contract spans three years, with an option to extend until June 2030. Medical examinations are scheduled for the following day.
Earlier reports from the sports website The Athletic suggested that Solomon's signing was unlikely due to disagreements over the transfer fee and concerns within West Ham about fan reactions to an Israeli player joining the club, which competes in the English Championship, the second tier of English football. Since joining Tottenham in 2023, Solomon has been loaned out to Leeds United, Villarreal, and Fiorentina.
