West Ham United have reportedly made Tottenham Hotspur winger Manor Solomon their first-choice option for the left flank.
The Hammers are expected to continue talks over a possible deal as Nuno Espírito Santo looks to replace Crysencio Summerville.
According to To The Lane And Back, Solomon has moved to the top of West Ham’s shortlist.
The report cites AllThings_THFC, which attributes the update to ExWHUEmployee. Further discussions between West Ham and Tottenham are expected next week.
Therefore, this appears to be more than another name simply being monitored.
Tottenham winger Manor Solomon could fill obvious West Ham gap
West Ham still need another natural option on the left.
Summerville’s £68million move to Al Hilal removed one of Nuno’s quickest and most direct attackers. As a result, the squad has looked short of penetration during pre-season.
Moreover, the 1-1 draw with Magdeburg again highlighted the need for more creativity before competitive football begins.
ReadWestHam reported on Sunday that the club could also revisit their interest in Everton winger Dwight McNeil after Summerville’s departure. However, Solomon now appears to be higher on the shortlist.
The 27-year-old also knows the Championship well.
He recorded ten goals and 12 assists during Leeds United’s promotion-winning 2024/25 campaign. In addition, his agent has already confirmed that Solomon wants to leave Tottenham permanently.
Convincing Solomon to drop into the Championship could still be difficult. However, West Ham can offer regular football and a central role in a promotion push.
For now, no formal bid has been reported.
Nevertheless, if Solomon really is Nuno’s preferred winger, West Ham may soon need to turn their interest into something concrete.
