Manor Solomon is on the verge of winning Leeds United.
Leeds won 4-0 in the 45th round of the English Championship (second division) in 2024-2025 against Bristol City at 4 a.m. on the 29th (Korea time) at Alland Road in Leeds, England. With this win, Leeds are tied with second-place Burnley with 97 points, but remain in first place ahead of goal difference.
Solomon led Leeds to victory on the day. Solomon, who played left wing forward, scored the first goal in the 22nd minute of the first half. Solomon poked a precise cross from the outside of the penalty box towards Aotanaka, who was alone on the other side. As Tanaka finished lightly, Leeds took the lead. A minute later, Solomon had a one-on-one chance with perfect penetration and fast speed, but was blocked by the goalkeeper.

Solomon's outstanding performance led to most of the attacks on the left. Leeds completed a 4-0 victory in the second half when their scoring ability exploded. Solomon had only one assist on the day, but soccer statistics media Footmob gave Solomon the highest rating and selected him as the most valuable player of the game.
Solomon is one of Leeds' top contributors to promotion to the English Premier League (EPL) this season. At the beginning of the season, it took time to adapt to the championship stage, but Solomon, who finished adapting, was an EPL-class player. 38경기

It's consequential, but if you knew Solomon was such a good player, Tottenham should have left Solomon instead of bringing Timo Werner or Matistel on loan.
Solomon wore a Tottenham jersey last season. Tottenham needed a backup to ease the burden of Son Heung-min's playing time, but it was quickly recruited by connecting with Fulham, who finished his contract, and Solomon, who became a free agent when his contract expired. It seemed like a net recruit, but Solomon played five league games and was out for the season due to knee meniscus surgery.

Tottenham manager Enze Postecoglou did not include Solomon in his plans this season, and Solomon had to leave for Leeds on loan. It wouldn't have been strange for a player like Solomon to head to the EPL club, but Solomon chose Leeds. Solomon is properly proving that his choice is not wrong.
Leeds will meet Plymouth Argyle, whose relegation has already been virtually confirmed in the league's final match. A win over Argyll would give Leeds a league win. Solomon also has an opportunity to properly prove the 'Taltenham Effect'.

Tottenham is not bad for Solomon's performance. This is because Solomon is receiving a lot of attention as he has spent a season proving himself. The player brought in without a transfer fee is expected to be recognized as the best winger in the championship and leave with tens of billions of transfer fees. It is understood that Leeds are preparing to completely recruit Solomon.
