Leeds United confirmed the season-long loan arrival of Manor Solomon on Tuesday afternoon, with the forward joining from Tottenham Hotspur.
Signing up for the season, the 25-year-old brings both Premier League and international experience to an already exciting attacking department, to further strengthen Daniel Farke’s squad.
Chatting exclusively to LUTV, Solomon gave his thoughts on joining the Whites.
He said: “I am really happy to be here.
“I've heard a lot about the club, about its fans, about the heritage, the history. I know it's a massive club in England and I'm looking forward to seeing the fans and to meet them all.
“As soon as the interest from Leeds came, I started to look for the players, for the coach and I've spoken with the manager and he explained to me about the style of playing, about the players that there are in Leeds.
“I know there is a group of great lads, young people with great desire, with great techniques and I'm looking forward to playing with them and to help them in the best way I can.
“I just want to get going.”
Solomon has honours to his name, having won the Ukrainian Premier League three times, the Ukrainian Cup and the Ukrainian Super Cup. After injury curtailed the 2023/24 campaign, he’s now looking forward to getting back out onto the pitch.
“Obviously I had a really tough season last season,” Manor told LUTV.
“I had an injury that happened in the beginning of the season and then for the majority of the season, I couldn't play football.
"But now I am fit and I'm ready to go, I'm ready to show myself again.
“I'm ready to go back to the biggest levels again and hopefully we'll have a great season here at Leeds.
"We have one goal and everyone knows our goal, hopefully we'll do it together."
