West Ham United have completed the signing of winger Manor Solomon from Tottenham Hotspur on an initial three-year contract, with an option for a further year, according to club announcements. According to Standard Sport, the transfer is valued at £5million up front, plus a further £2m in add-ons, alongside a 10 per cent sell-on clause included by Tottenham.
Manor Solomon Joins West Ham From Tottenham
Solomon arrives in east London as West Ham’s third senior acquisition of the summer, following deals for Keiber Lamadrid and Joel Veltman, as reported by Standard Sport. The 27-year-old winger has been handed the No. 10 shirt at the London Stadium, a squad number that remained vacant following Lucas Paquetá’s departure during the January transfer window. Solomon stated that his primary goal is to help the club secure an immediate return to the Premier League.
“I’m really happy to be here, happy to be a Hammer, and I can’t wait to get started,” Solomon told the club’s official media channels. “I know West Ham United has a rich history both in the Premier League and in Europe. It’s a club that won a European trophy just three years ago, and I think this is where the club should be.”
Transfer Negotiations Underway for Reiss Nelson
Following the confirmation of Solomon’s arrival, West Ham have already opened discussions regarding their next potential summer reinforcement. According to Standard Sport, the Hammers have approached Arsenal to discuss the availability of winger Reiss Nelson as they look to bolster their squad for a promotion campaign in the Championship.
Negotiations between the two clubs remain ongoing regarding the potential conditions of a deal, and Arsenal have provided encouragement to West Ham’s inquiry. However, Standard Sport notes that it remains uncertain whether Nelson would be open to dropping down from the Premier League to compete in the Championship.
