PREMIER LEAGUE STAR THINKS TOTTENHAM HAVE JUST SIGNED A ‘WONDERFUL’ PLAYER

Tottenham Hotspur have signed a ‘wonderful winger’ in Manor Solomon with Brighton midfielder Pascal Gross a big fan of a player who scored against his club in the Premier League last season.

If the Israel international’s pre-season performances are anything to go by, Tottenham fans will have a lot of fun watching Manor Solomon swivel his hips under Ange Postecoglou in 2022/23.

As the Fulham faithful will tell you, this is the sort of player you pay the entrance fee for. If we hailed from Brazil rather than Israel, we would probably have used the phrase ‘jogo bonito’ by now.

And Gross knows first-hand just how devastating Solomon can be.

The former Fulham loanee showcased the searing pace and composed finishing that made him such a hit at Craven Cottage and at Shakhtar Donetsk as Marco Silva’s side claimed a dramatic late win over Gross’ Brighton back in February; Solomon breezing clear before slotting home in the 88^th minute.

That was one of five goals Solomon scored in Fulham colours.

And while greater numbers will be expected of the one-time Man City and Atletico Madrid target in his new North London home, Gross feels that laser-guided finish at The Amex may be a sign of things to come.

”I think he fit in well in the league,” Gross tells Sports Walla.

“The goal he scored against us was painful for us, but I think he is a good player and he scored beautiful goals when cuting in from the wing, I think he is a wonderful winger.

“It will be interesting to see him at Tottenham.”

While the cheapest and arguably the least-heralded of Spurs’ three summer signings so far – James Maddison and Guglielmo Vicario also arriving from Leicester City and Empoli – Solomon could prove to be an inspired addition, especially if the ageing Heung-Min Son cannot put something of an annus horibilis behind him.

“In addition to Tottenham, Aston Villa, West Ham, and RB Leipzig wanted him,” Solomon’s agent, Shlomi Ben Ezra, tells Sport5, explaining that the Bundesliga giants had identified Solomon ‘as a replacement’ for the Chelsea-bound Christopher Nkunku.

“If you leave the Premier League, you can’t always return to it.”

Report: Spurs sign ‘complete’ £50m forward as he’s homegrown and an ‘investment for the future’

Tottenham Hotspur have been linked to forward Brennan Johnson this summer transfer window and a report has shared the details as to why they want to sign him.

It has been reported by The Athletic that Tottenham would like to sign Johnson this summer as they continue their rebuild ahead of next season.

Now, a new report from The Athletic has detailed the reasons as to why they are fancying signing Johnson.

Apparently, Spurs are wanting him due to the fact that he is a homegrown player and also due to the fact that he is ‘an investment for the future’.

The fact that he is homegrown is a ‘significant lure’ for Spurs and apparently even more so if Harry Kane leaves this summer.

Spurs want to sign Brennan Johnson

The ‘complete‘ forward enjoyed his first Premier League campaign last season as he managed eight goals. The 22 year-old looks to have top potential.

If Spurs do desperately want him then they are going to have to pay a big price for the Welsh international this summer.

Reports claim that Nottingham Forest want around £50million for the forward should they allow him to leave during the transfer window.

With so much happening at Spurs this summer, it is no shock to see them look to top talent who can also be a future investement.

Johnson would definitely add some good depth to the Spurs squad and could be a player for many seasons should he join.

Despite his quality, £50million seems very steep for a forward who has only played one season of top-flight football. It may be best to wait to see if he can be consistent.
