Solomon joins Leeds on loan from Tottenham

By Sports Desk August 27, 2024

Manor Solomon has joined Leeds United on a season-long loan from Tottenham.

The 25-year-old joined Spurs last year following his departure from Shakhtar Donetsk but only played six times before suffering a season-ending knee injury in October.

He featured in pre-season for Ange Postecoglou's side but was not included in either of his matchday squads in the Premier League this season.

Solomon signed for Spurs after a successful loan spell with Fulham in 2022-23 in which he scored in four successive top-flight matches.

His other goal for the Cottagers came in the FA Cup, as he netted in a 2-0 win over Leeds in the fifth round.

This is the third piece of business between Tottenham and Leeds in this transfer window, with Archie Gray joining the north London side and Joe Rodon going the other way.

    Liverpool have confirmed the signing of Giorgi Mamardashvili from Valencia, with the goalkeeper immediately loaned back to Los Che for this season.

    The Georgia international impressed at Euro 2024 with his country and has subsequently earned a move to Anfield, becoming the first major signing of Arne Slot's Liverpool tenure.

    Mamardashvili will stay in Spain with Valencia for the remainder of the LaLiga campaign before moving to Merseyside ahead of the 2025-26 campaign.

    Widespread reports suggest the Reds have agreed a €30million deal (£25m), including add-ons, to sign the 23-year-old, who will be expected to challenge Alisson for the starting spot in goal.

    Mamardashvili's move comes off the back of an impressive European Championship showing, managing 21 saves during the three group-stage games, the joint-most of any goalkeeper in the tournament's history.

    He has recorded 102 appearances for Valencia, keeping 31 clean sheets in all competitions and starting both of their fixtures so far this term against Barcelona and Celta Vigo.

    Goalkeeping rival Alisson has two years and the option of a further year left on his Liverpool contract, but is expected to remain as the first-choice option, with Caoimhin Kelleher also among the Reds ranks.

    Slot's side are said to be interested in Juventus' Federico Chiesa, too, before the transfer window closes on Friday in England.

  • Abdulhamid joins Roma after Al Hilal sign Cancelo Abdulhamid joins Roma after Al Hilal sign Cancelo

    Roma have signed Saud Abdulhamid from Saudi Pro League champions Al Hilal, the Serie A club announced on Tuesday.

    Reports in Italy suggest the deal for the 25-year-old defender was worth €3million.

    "Roma are pleased to announce the signing of Saud Abdulhamid on a permanent deal from Al Hilal," the club said in a short statement.

    The Saudi Arabia international was a key player for Jorge Jesus' side last season, netting four times and providing nine assists in all competitions to help Al Hilal win a domestic treble.

    Manchester City's Joao Cancelo joined Al Hilal to replace Abdulhamid, who will be the first Saudi Arabian player to compete in Serie A.

  • Cancelo seals permanent Man City exit with Al-Hilal move Cancelo seals permanent Man City exit with Al-Hilal move

    Al-Hilal have confirmed the signing of Joao Cancelo from Manchester City.

    The right-back has reportedly signed a three-year contract after joining the Saudi Pro League club for a fee of £21million.

    Cancelo originally joined the Citizens in August 2019 in a deal worth £60m, making him the most expensive right-back in history.

    He made 154 appearances for City, winning three Premier League titles, an FA Cup and the EFL Cup.

    Cancelo spent last season on loan at Barcelona after a falling out with Pep Guardiola, and led the club's defenders in chances created (35), crosses (82) and shots (32), but the Catalan side opted not to extend his stay.

    In his last full campaign at City in 2021-22, he played the most minutes of any outfielder for the team, while he was also involved in more attacking sequences than anyone else in the league (244).

    "I would like to wish everyone at City continued success in the future," Cancelo said before completing his move.

    "I had many very special moments during my time here at this great club.

    "I would like to thank my team-mates, the coaches, all the staff at City and the fans for everything during my time here."
