West Ham sign Manor Solomon from Tottenham for £5m

West Ham have signed winger Manor Solomon from Tottenham on a three-year contract, with the fee understood to be around £5 million (BBC Sport). The deal, finalised on 10 August 2026, also includes up to £2 million in potential add-ons, while Tottenham have protected their interests with a 10 per cent sell-on clause — meaning they pocket a slice of any future transfer fee if West Ham sell him on (The Athletic).

Solomon, 27, is an Israel international who arrives in east London after a season on loan at Fiorentina, where he made 19 appearances in Serie A (BBC Sport). His time at Tottenham never quite caught fire. He joined the north London club in 2023 but was sent out on loan three times in two seasons — to Leeds United, Villarreal, and then the Italian side — without ever establishing himself as a first-team regular.

Now he gets a fresh start, and West Ham have handed him the number 10 shirt, a signal that they see him as a creative focal rather than a squad filler (BBC Sport). The club marked the signing with a "First Interview" video on their official website (whufc.com).

For Solomon, this is a chance to put down roots. Since leaving Shakhtar Donetsk in 2023 he has lived out of a suitcase, bouncing between three countries and three leagues without a settled base. West Ham offer something he has not had in two years: a club that actually wants him, a long contract, and a number on his back that carries expectation.

The fee tells its own story. A £5 million outlay, rising to £7 million, is modest by Premier League standards — the kind of money a club spends on a punt, not a cornerstone signing. But Solomon's talent has never been in question. He is a quick, direct wide player who likes to run at defenders and create from the left. The issue has always been whether he can stay fit and string together enough games to find a rhythm.

Tottenham, for their part, have recouped a small portion of what they invested and kept a seat at the table through the sell-on clause. It is a clean exit for a player who, for one reason or another, never became part of the plan.

The Premier League season is nearly upon us, and Solomon will want to hit the ground running. West Ham's fans will hope that the fourth time — after Tottenham, Leeds, Villarreal, and Fiorentina — is the one where it finally clicks.
