Kevin de Bruyne admits he is a fan of Manor Solomon, singing the winger’s praises before Belgium’s Nations League win over Israel.
Solomon hasn’t hit the ground running at Spurs
Injuries have prevented Solomon from showcasing his qualities at Spurs, with the winger spending almost the entirety of last season on the treatment table.
The winger has made a loan switch to Leeds this season and he will hope to prove his fitness to Ange Postecoglou and get his career back on track.
It remains to be seen if the 25-year-old has a future at the North London club but there is no doubt that a few clubs will be watching with interest to see how the wide-man does at Elland Road.
Solomon’s spell at the Championship side has started impressively, with the on-loan Spurs man getting an assist in his debut against Hull City as Daniel Farke’s men emerged 2-0 winners last Saturday.
Kevin de Bruyne says Solomon is an excellent player
The former Shakhtar Donetsk man came up against De Bruyne’s Belgium in the Nations League clash on Saturday, with the Red Devils emerging 3-1 winners, owing to a brace from the Manchester City man.
When the attacking midfielder was asked ahead of the game if he knew any player from the opposition side, he told the Israeli website One: “I know Manor Solomon from the Premier League. From Fulham, and Tottenham, and now he has moved to Leeds.
“He has the qualities to play at this level. He is an excellent player.”
Spurs Web Opinion
Solomon will view this season as an opportunity to put himself on the shop window.
If he impresses at Leeds, a few Premier League clubs could come knocking on Tottenham’s door next summer about the winger’s availability.
