AI Summary

West Ham United has finalized the signing of winger Manor Solomon from Tottenham Hotspur on a three-year contract. While the club did not disclose the transfer fee, it is believed that the Hammers paid approximately £5 million, marking Solomon as their third permanent signing this summer.

The 27-year-old Israeli international made 19 appearances for Fiorentina last season while on loan. Prior to that, he also had loan spells at Leeds United and Villarreal after joining Spurs in 2023.

In his own words, Solomon expressed excitement about joining West Ham, stating, "I know West Ham have a rich history both in the Premier League and in Europe. It’s a club that won a European trophy just three years ago, and I think this is where the club should be, and I’m here to help the club and to be where it belongs." He emphasized the team's primary objective, saying, "Of course, our first task is to get promoted, to go back to the Premier League."

Capped 49 times by Israel, Solomon previously won three titles during his tenure with Shakhtar Donetsk before a loan move to Fulham. He also played a crucial role in helping Leeds secure the Championship title in 2024-25.

He joins fellow new recruits Keiber Lamadrid, a midfielder from Venezuela, and Joel Veltman, a former Netherlands defender, at the club this summer. Following their relegation, West Ham has sold winger Crysencio Summerville to Al-Hilal and midfielder Mateus Fernandes to Tottenham, among other departures.
