Leeds United boss Daniel Farke has reportedly blocked the club’s move to sign winger Manor Solomon, citing “serious concerns” over the player’s recent fitness record and attitude during negotiations. The Israeli international, who has been linked with a switch to Elland Road since the summer, was said to be on the verge of completing a deal before Farke intervened at the final stage.
According to sources close to the club, Farke believes Solomon’s repeated injury issues and lack of consistent form since his return from Tottenham would make him a risky signing. The manager is also said to be prioritising players with “high commitment levels” and “strong physical readiness” as Leeds push for promotion.
The decision has divided fans across social media. Some supporters praised Farke for showing discipline and long-term vision, while others expressed frustration at missing out on a creative attacker who could add spark to the team’s attack. With the transfer window still open for free agents, speculation continues about whether Leeds will pursue an alternative winger before the deadline. Farke, however, remains firm that “every signing must fit the team’s culture and intensity.”
