Tottenham HotspurTeam·Tottenham Hotspur winger Manor SolomonPlayer·Manor Solomon has been informed by head coach Roberto De Zerbi that his future lies away from the club, prompting the Israel international to seek a new destination this summer. Solomon, who has two years remaining on his contract, had reportedly hoped that De Zerbi, his former coach at Shakhtar DonetskTeam·Shakhtar Donetsk, might integrate him into the squad for the 2026/27 season. However, the club intends to facilitate a move for the player.

The decision from the coaching staff and current club leadership underscores the ongoing restructuring at Tottenham. It is important to note that while initial reports might link player discontent to Daniel Levy, he is no longer the chairman of Tottenham HotspurTeam·Tottenham Hotspur, having been succeeded by Peter Charrington as Non-Executive Chairman on September 4, 2025. Therefore, Solomon's current situation is a direct consequence of the present management's strategic choices.

This development unfolds against the backdrop of a historically challenging 2025/26 season for Tottenham HotspurTeam·Tottenham Hotspur. The club finished a disappointing 17th in the Premier LeagueCompetition·Premier League, narrowly avoiding relegation by a mere two points. This marked their lowest top-flight finish in 111 years for two consecutive seasons, a stark indicator of the difficulties faced. Consequently, Spurs will not participate in any UEFA-sanctioned competition for the 2026/27 season, a significant absence from the European stage.

The season was plagued by inconsistency and poor form, including a record six consecutive losses across all competitions and a fifteen-game winless streak in the league during the early months of 2026. Their home form was particularly concerning, yielding only three league victories throughout the entire campaign. The club also endured a significant injury crisis, with a league-high 27 players sidelined at various points, and saw three different managers—Thomas Frank, Igor TudorCoach·Igor Tudor (interim), and Roberto De Zerbi—take the helm during the tumultuous period.

Solomon's departure would represent another step in the club's efforts to overhaul a squad that struggled profoundly. The winger's hopes of reuniting with De Zerbi and finding a consistent role have been dashed, leaving both player and club to navigate the transfer market in search of a suitable resolution.
