Tottenham chase Manor Solomon transfer as Shakhtar fume at Fifa for allowing Fulham loan star to move for FREE


TOTTENHAM are in the hunt for Manor Solomon – who is set to be available for nothing this summer.

The Israeli has been at Fulham on a year-long deal after suspending his contract with Shakhtar Donetsk, following Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine.

Fifa have ruled that he can leave Shakhtar for free this summer, sparking interest from a number of clubs across Europe.

In amongst them are Spurs, as well as Fulham who would like to sign him permanently. 

Winger Solomon, 23, has netted five goals in 23 appearances for the Cottagers this term in all competitions. 

All five strikes came in consecutive games during a particularly hot streak in February and early March.

Shakhtar chief Sergei Palkin has criticised Fifa’s decision to allow their players to move abroad for nothing.

He said: “The over-reaching measures applied by Fifa led to massive loss of player transfer income and a depletion of essential Club revenues.

“We believe the extension of Annex 7 continues to place clubs like FC Shakhtar in Ukraine in a seriously disadvantaged position with zero protection and threatens our very existence.”

Fulham have defied expectations that they would be in a relegation battle this term following promotion.
