Hull City are among the clubs tracking Manor Solomon as Tottenham continue to reshape their squad before the Premier League season begins. According to I News, Spurs still expect several departures in the closing stages of the window, and Solomon is one of the names moving towards the front of that queue.
The 27-year-old has had pre-season minutes under Roberto De Zerbi, yet the wider picture appears clear. He is not part of the plans for 2026-27 and Tottenham are open to a deal. West Ham are described as the current frontrunners, although Hull City have registered interest and are watching developments closely.

Tottenham’s valuation is around £20m, with early bids potentially landing anywhere between £10m and £20m. That range leaves room for movement and makes this one worth following, especially for Championship clubs assessing whether there is a structure that could work.
Solomon joined Spurs on a free transfer from Fulham in 2023 but has struggled to establish himself in north London. He has made only five senior appearances for the club and has since taken in loan spells at Leeds United, Villarreal and Fiorentina. There were moments when a route back looked possible, but another temporary exit followed and the expectation now is for a permanent move.
This is part of a much broader Tottenham reset. Cristian Romero is being monitored by Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid and there is a growing expectation he will depart before the new campaign starts on 21 August. Mikey Moore is also heading towards another loan, with Cologne competing against Championship interest, while Guglielmo Vicario has admirers in Italy as Antonin Kinsky prepares to begin the season as first choice.
At the top end of the pitch, De Zerbi wants more. He recently hinted at another “bomba” before the window shuts, with Tottenham still pursuing a wide forward. Liverpool’s Cody Gakpo is viewed as a leading option, although any move would rely on Liverpool finding a replacement under Andoni Iraola. Manchester City’s Savinho remains a longer-term target.

Spurs have already moved aggressively, bringing in Sandro Tonali, Mateus Fernandes, Jan Paul van Hecke, Marcos Senesi, Andy Robertson and Martin Dubravka. After finishing 17th last season and surviving on the final day, there has been a significant change in approach, including a willingness to stretch previous financial limits.
From a Hull perspective, Solomon is an interesting name. He brings top-flight pedigree, experience across multiple leagues and a profile that suggests he could become a difference-maker if the finances align. Whether Hull can outmanoeuvre West Ham is another matter, but their presence in the conversation says plenty about their ambition under Sergej Jakirovic.
For now, this feels like a situation that could move quickly. Tottenham are active, Solomon is available and Hull City are one of the clubs paying attention.
Manor Solomon is a player with obvious quality, and if the club are genuinely in the mix then it shows there is real intent behind the recruitment strategy. He has had a stop-start time at Tottenham, but players in that position can often be perfect opportunities for ambitious clubs willing to move decisively.
There is every reason to be excited by what he could bring. Solomon is quick, direct and capable of unsettling defenders in one-v-one situations. Hull have needed more cutting edge and unpredictability in wide areas, and this sort of signing would instantly raise the level of the attack. Even the fact Hull are being mentioned alongside a Premier League club like West Ham tells you the market may be opening up in a more adventurous way.
The financial side is obviously crucial. If Tottenham want £20m, that sounds difficult, but the mention of opening bids from £10m to £20m suggests there may be room for creativity. A structured deal, incentives, or even favourable payment terms could bring it into range. Supporters will hope the club are exploring every angle.
Most of all, this is the kind of rumour fans want late in the window. It is bold, it is exciting and it hints at a Hull City side trying to add players who can genuinely change games. If there is a chance to get Solomon through the door, the club should push hard.
