Tottenham and West Ham fail to come to £5m agreement as transfer talks stall

Wait 5 sec.

Manor Solomon’s expected Tottenham departure has taken another twist after David Ornstein revealed fresh details on the winger’s future, with one potential move now appearing to have stalled.Despite the 27-year-old being informed much earlier this summer that he is not part of Roberto De Zerbi’s plans for the upcoming season, he has remained heavily involved throughout Tottenham’s pre-season preparations. Solomon travelled with the squad on their tour of Australia and New Zealand and has actually played the second most minutes of any Spurs player this summer, behind only Archie Gray.The Israel international arrived on a free transfer in the summer of 2023, but injuries and two loan spells have prevented him from establishing himself in North London, with the winger making just 6 senior appearances for Tottenham.His agent has already confirmed that Solomon will leave Spurs permanently this summer rather than on another loan, and there has been no shortage of interest in his services. However, one club that looked to be leading the race has now had a significant change of heart.Credit: acafferyphotographyphotos / InstagramDavid Ornstein reveals why West Ham talks have stalledReports over the past few days claimed that West Ham United had made Manor Solomon their ‘top target’ to replace Crysencio Summerville following the Dutchman’s move to Saudi Arabia after the Hammers’ relegation from the Premier League.The same source recently suggested that a deal with Tottenham was ‘pretty much agreed’, only for West Ham to have ‘second thoughts’ over completing it amid concerns about the reaction from supporters due to the winger’s off-the-pitch controversies.David Ornstein has now provided further clarity on the situation, confirming that talks between West Ham and Tottenham are ‘currently off’.According to The Athletic journalist, however, the stumbling block is ‘financial’ rather than anything else. West Ham were prepared to pay around £5m for Solomon, but the two clubs could not reach an agreement over the bonus structure Tottenham wanted, linked to the Hammers earning promotion back to the Premier League.🚨 West Ham United talks with Tottenham Hotspur over Manor Solomon currently off for financial reasons. #WHUFC aim to pay ~£5m but not agreeing to bonuses #THFC want in case of promotion. Fiorentina pushing but currently below club valuation @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/fAe1PyA69M— David Ornstein (@David_Ornstein) August 6, 2026Fiorentina continue to push for Tottenham’s Manor SolomonOrnstein adds that the Serie A side are still ‘pushing’ to sign Solomon permanently after his loan spell in Florence, although the financial package currently being discussed still falls short of Tottenham’s valuation.Interestingly, Fiorentina held a €10m (£8.7m) option to buy the winger following last season’s loan, but chose not to activate it. Reports at the time suggested they felt the fee was too high, while there were also concerns surrounding Solomon’s injury record.Elsewhere, recently promoted Hull City have also entered the race for the Tottenham winger ahead of the closing weeks of the transfer window.Tottenham are understood to value Solomon at around £20m, meaning it remains to be seen whether Fiorentina, Hull City or another interested club will eventually meet Spurs’ demands before the window closes.READ MORE: Aston Villa could help unlock one of Tottenham’s biggest sales of the summerThe post Tottenham and West Ham fail to come to £5m agreement as transfer talks stall appeared first on Spurs Web.
