The Jerusalem Post reports that Israeli winger Manor Solomon has completed his permanent transfer from Tottenham Hotspur to West Ham United, his fourth English club. Solomon was officially presented at the club earlier Tuesday.
The Jerusalem Post confirmed Tuesday evening that Israeli winger Manor Solomon has completed his permanent transfer from Tottenham Hotspur to West Ham United. The confirmation caps a day of rapid developments: earlier Tuesday, Solomon was officially unveiled at West Ham, as The Zioneer reported, and stated his goal of earning promotion back to the Premier League and eventually competing for European competition.
The story of Solomon's move unfolded over yesterday afternoon. At 16:36 Jerusalem on Monday, ynet first reported that Solomon had signed with West Ham. Moments later, journalist Ben Goldfriend reported the transfer fee of £5 million and that Solomon would wear the number 10 jersey. Shortly after, The Zioneer reported that Solomon was officially presented at the club, where he expressed his ambition to return the club to the top flight and match the success of Israeli legends Eyal Berkovic and Yossi Benayoun at West Ham. The reporting quickly evolved from a single news outlet to multiple confirmations, culminating in the club's formal presentation.
The transfer ends a period of uncertainty surrounding Solomon's future. He joined Tottenham from Shakhtar Donetsk in 2023 but saw limited playing time. As The Zioneer reported on Monday, West Ham were relegated from the Premier League last season, and Solomon's arrival is part of their effort to return to the top tier. The move also sets up an Israeli derby in the English League Cup: as The Zioneer reported, West Ham will face Southampton—featuring Israeli keeper Daniel Peretz—in the second round.
With the Jerusalem Post's confirmation and the club's official presentation, the transfer is now fully documented. No further details remain pending.
