Leeds United and Everton have been handed a huge boost in their respective pursuits of Tottenham Hotspur loanee Manor Solomon, as the 25-year-old reportedly wants to keep playing in England next season following his impressive spell at Elland Road.
Spurs man Solomon has been a bright spark for Leeds since his arrival last summer and has played a key role in their automatic promotion push off the left-wing so far this term.
His standout stint with the Whites has seen him attract transfer attention from higher-placed clubs, with Everton believed to be interested, as they look set to be in the market for a wide attacker with Leeds’ own loan man Jack Harrison unlikely to move to Merseyside on a permanent deal.
The Israeli international looks set to leave parent club Spurs in a permanent move, and both Leeds and the Toffees are set to battle it out for his signature, but the former will need to win promotion to the Premier League to be in with a chance of striking a deal.

Solomon has registered seven goals and assists each in 30 Championship appearances this season. His latest midweek exploits to help move the Whites closer to automatic promotion saw his cross deflect off Jake Cooper and into the net to put the Whites 1-0 up inside three minutes against Millwall in an eventual 2-0 victory.
Leeds are known to want to strike a full-time deal with Spurs for the 25-year-old in the summer but face stiff competition from the Toffees, who have been revitalised in the Premier League under returning boss David Moyes.
GiveMeSport have previously claimed that the winger will be allowed to leave North London in the summer for between £10 million and £15 million, and TEAMtalk have now moved to boost both chasing clubs’ chances of landing his signature, reporting that his preference is to remain in England and to play in the Premier League next season.
