Hull City rival West Ham for £20m Tottenham forward

Tottenham Hotspur are still active in the final weeks of the transfer window, with at least three more outgoings planned.

Captain Cristian Romero continues to be monitored by Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid and it is expected he will have left the club when the new Premier League season kicks off on 21 August.

Despite acquiring minutes in pre-season under Roberto De Zerbi, Manor Solomon is also set to depart, with West Ham currently leading the race for the Israeli international.

The i Paper understands newly promoted Hull City are the other club interested in signing the 27-year-old, who Spurs value at around £20m but who could attract opening bids of between £10m-20m. A move is expected to gain momentum quickly and could be agreed over the coming days.

Since arriving from Fulham on a free transfer in 2023, Solomon has made five senior appearances for Spurs, going on loan to Leeds, Villarreal and most recently Fiorentina.

A year ago, he was offered brief hope of a revival under then-manager Thomas Frank as Spurs struggled to find a replacement in the market. Instead, another temporary spell away from the club followed.

De Zerbi has not included Solomon in his plans for the 2026-27 campaign and hopes to sign another wide-forward before the window closes. Liverpool’s Cody Gakpo has emerged as the most likely candidate but a deal is likely to depend on his current club being able to find a successor under new head coach Andoni Iraola. Manchester City’s Savinho is also a long-term target.

During the pre-season tour of New Zealand, De Zerbi hinted at another “bomba” – or major transfer – to top off a successful window in which Spurs have already signed Sandro Tonali, Mateus Fernandes and Jan Paul van Hecke – Romero’s replacement – on big-money deals.

After finishing 17th last season and escaping relegation on the last day, there has been a major shift in approach, with Spurs smashing their previous wage structure to allow them to compete for major signings.
