Manor Solomon's loan spell at Leeds United during the 2024–25 season proved instrumental in the club's triumphant return to the Premier League.
The Israeli winger, on loan from Tottenham Hotspur, showcased his attacking prowess by recording ten goals and thirteen assists across all competitions.
Solomon's impact was felt in key moments throughout the season. Notably, he provided two assists in a commanding 6–0 victory over Stoke City on April 21, a win that coincided with Leeds clinching promotion following Burnley's result against Sheffield United. Further cementing his importance, Solomon netted a dramatic 91st-minute winner against Plymouth Argyle on May 3, securing a 2–1 victory that confirmed Leeds as Championship champions.
Throughout the campaign, Solomon's creativity and flair were vital components of Leeds' attacking strategy. His ability to navigate tight defences and deliver precise passes made him a constant threat on the flank. Manager Daniel Farke's decision to integrate Solomon into the starting lineup paid dividends, as the winger's performances often turned the tide in Leeds' favour.
As Leeds United prepares for its return to top-flight football, Solomon's contributions have not gone unnoticed. While his loan agreement concludes, discussions regarding a potential permanent move are anticipated, with Leeds reportedly interested in securing his services beyond the loan period.
Solomon's season with Leeds not only revitalised his career but also played a crucial role in restoring the club's Premier League status.
