Tottenham Hotspur winger Manor Solomon’s agent has revealed that the player is seeking a permanent departure from the Premier League club this summer, after spending each of the last two seasons out on loan.

Solomon joined Spurs from Fulham on a free transfer in 2023, and has since made just six appearances for the North London club. A serious injury in his first campaign with the Lilywhites essentially put an end to his career at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and he’s subsequently been shipped out to Leeds United, Villarreal and Fiorentina on temporary deals.

The Italian club declined the chance to sign the Israeli permanently for €10 million (£8.6 million), meaning the wide forward has been forced to return to N17 for pre-season.

Despite featuring in a few recent friendlies, and previously working under Roberto De Zerbi at Shakhtar Donetsk, Solomon is still expected to leave Tottenham this summer.

Manor Solomon Wants Permanent Exit From Tottenham

Despite enjoying an outstanding loan spell at Leeds in the 2024/25 season, Solomon hasn’t been able to find a permanent new home since.

He’s now back at Tottenham, where he isn’t wanted and is likely to leave, in spite of his prominence during pre-season. To the surprise of many, the 27-year-old is still under contract at Spurs for another two years.

According to his agent, Ronen Katzav, Solomon is eager to settle somewhere indefinitely this summer, rather than enduring another short stint at a club that doesn’t intend to sign him permanently.

“He needs to be given a training camp as a Tottenham player right now. The fact that he’s starting in friendlies doesn’t mean anything, a coach can start with a second or third, string lineup and then mix things up; it doesn’t mean a thing,” Katzav told Israel’s Sport 5.

“Next season? I don’t like to speculate.

“We have over a month left in the transfer window. What I will say is that the goal will be a permanent transfer, not a loan. Statistically speaking, the last week of the window is the busiest.

“He wants to be dominant and make an impact, and that probably won’t happen at Tottenham. It doesn’t seem like the right place for him, and they’ve given up on him too easily along the way. The real goal is to find a place where he can play regularly. Manor is a very high-quality player, both mentally and professionally.”

Spurs have spent big money already this summer. Sandro Tonali has arrived for £100 million from Newcastle, Mateus Fernandes has joined from West Ham for £85 million, and Jan Paul van Hecke has signed for £52 million from Brighton.

More work needs to be done on De Zerbi’s squad, most notably at the top end of the pitch. That said, funds are likely to be scarce at this point, meaning sales may be required to fuel further investment.

Solomon isn’t the only player who could garner a reasonable fee. The likes of Vicario, Cristian Romero, Rodrigo Bentancur and Richarlison could all be sold for significant sums, aiding Spurs’ ambitious forward pursuits.

Arsenal are set to accelerate talks to sign a South American in the summer transfer window, with hopes of striking an agreement before the end of July.

The Gunners are in the market to sign a new midfielder in the summer transfer window as they look to improve Mikel Arteta’s squad.

So far, the Gunners are yet to make any serious moves in the transfer market, with Illan Meslier and Christos Tzolis their only first-team additions.

Meslier isn’t going to be coming in as Arsenal’s number one either, so he is merely a backup signing in the goalkeeper department.

As a result, Arsenal need to get a move on in terms of first-team reinforcements, especially if they want to replicate the kind of season they produced last year.

According to a report from talkSPORT, Arsenal are set to accelerate talks to sign Newcastle United captain Bruno Guimaraes in the summer transfer window.

The Gunners have made the Brazilian midfielder their priority signing for the summer transfer window, and they are hoping to strike an agreement before the end of the month.

The Gunners are prepared to pay over £70 million for Bruno Guimaraes, who has broadly agreed personal terms with the North London club.

Three offers have already been placed by Arsenal, who appear insistent on getting their man.

The Magpies will be under no serious pressure to sell their captain after selling Sandro Tonali and Anthony Gordon for significant fees.

Another forward on the agenda

Arsenal are also working on bringing a new forward to the club in the summer transfer window.

The Gunners are believed to be interested in signing Atletico Madrid forward Julian Alvarez, while they are also pursuing Real Madrid’s Vinicius Junior.

After a slow start to the window, it appears the Gunners are now making some serious moves in the market.

If Alvarez, Vinicius and Guimaraes, who has been described as ‘elite’, arrive through the door by the end of the window, that’ll be a phenomenal set of signings for the North London club.

Luke Littler secured his second consecutive World Matchplay Darts title and secured a healthy payout, and new records, to go with it.

With a record prize money pot up for grabs, some serious money was banked by ‘The Nuke’, as well as several other top stars.

As one of three legs of the Triple Crown, the tournament represents a big opportunity in both a sporting and financial sense. In last year’s final, Littler defeated James Wade 18-13 to take the top prize. The teenager was in even more clinical form at the Winter Gardens in 2026.

Luke Littler Wins World Matchplay in Dominant Fashion

Luke Littler defended his title with an 18-9 victory over Gerwyn Price in Blackpool as he became just the fourth person to win back-to-back World Matchplay titles.

Littler looked imperious throughout the final as he stormed to victory with an average of 111.53. In doing so, the 19-year-old broke another record by beating Phil Taylor’s record average in a final when he set 111.23 in his victory over Adrian Lewis in 2013.

That wasn’t the only record Littler took from Taylor this year though. The Englishman was in ebullient form throughout and set a tournament average of 111.04, which smashes the previous best of Taylor’s 106.31 in 2010. Littler’s record-breaking rate is truly remarkable yet almost unsurprising now, and for that to be the case for someone who is still a teenager is scarcely believable.

Littler is now on a run of 29 successive wins in games with 20 or more legs, with the Englishman indomitable in long formats. His last defeat in such a game was the 2024 World Championship final, where he lost on debut to Luke Humphries.

This victory means ‘The Nuke’ has won four out of four PDC ranking events of 2026 and with four more to go, you wouldn’t bet against him securing them all and becoming the first player ever to complete a calendar clean sweep.

“It’s been a crazy week, one of the best weeks of my life with the darts I’ve played,” Littler told Sky Sports. “It’s been tough. The stats may look like it’s easy, but when you’re on this stage with how hot it is, it’s not easy.”

Price was good himself as he averaged 104.97 in the final, but with Littler in Littler form, he never stood a chance. He will leave Blackpool fairly content though, as he has climbed to fourth in the PDC rankings and took the Welsh number one spot from Jonny Clayton to go along with his healthy prize sum.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Price said: “Luke is one in a million, I threw everything at him.

“He’s fantastic for the sport. I wish he wasn’t as good as he is – I would have won a couple more tournaments.

“I hope there’s no-one else like him coming through because he’s ridiculous!”

Although he couldn’t get close to Littler in the final, Price’s defeat saw bank a healthy £125,000, whilst Littler’s victory earned him a staggering £250,000, up from £200,000.

World Matchplay 2026 Prize Money

Round one served up a shock of high magnitude as world number two Luke Humphries was knocked out by Cameron Menzies, meaning the Englishman left the tournament with £12,500.

Menzies was later forced to withdraw from the tournament mid-match due to a health issue. The Scot picked up £22,500 before his exit.

Darting legend Michael Van Gerwen suffered his own shock exit in round two as he was eliminated by his national compatriot Dirk van Duijvenbode in a 14–12 thriller. The three-time World Championship winner earned £22,500 for his showing.

Last year’s finalist James Wade fell at the quarter-final stage following a 16-13 defeat to Gian Van Veen, which saw him take home £35,000. Gary Anderson, Josh Rock, and Ross Smith also lost out at this stage.

The semi-finals saw the two Dutchmen, Gian van Veen and Dirk van Duijvenbode, lose out, leaving both with a prize sum of £65,000.

The next major televised darts event takes place in September with the World Grand Prix getting underway in Leicester on the 28th of September.

Littler enters that tournament as the defending champion, and, judging by his current form, it could be a tough ask for anyone to prevent him from lifting the trophy again.
