Villarreal CF could be set to say goodbye to Manor Solomon. Reports suggest West Ham United is in talks to sign the Israeli winger, who spent a season with the Yellow Submarine in 2023/24. Solomon, 27, has caught the eye with his performances in Tottenham's pre-season, where he has been one of the standout players.
What happened with Manor Solomon at Villarreal CF?
Manor Solomon joined Villarreal CF in the 2023/24 season from Shakhtar Donetsk, but his time at the club was short-lived. The winger made only 10 league appearances for the La Liga side, scoring one goal. Despite his talent, injuries limited his impact at the Yellow Submarine, who finished the 2025 season in third place with 61 points (19 wins, 4 draws, and 8 losses).
Why is Solomon of interest to West Ham?
West Ham is looking to strengthen its attack after selling Crysencio Summerville to Al Hilal. Solomon, who shone at Leeds United with 10 goals and 13 assists in the Championship, is a versatile player who can operate on both the right and left flanks. His ability to create chances and his experience in Europe make him an attractive profile for the Hammers.
What does the future hold for Villarreal CF?
With the potential departure of Solomon, Villarreal CF will need to find a replacement to bolster its attack. The team, which finished the 2025 season with 56 goals scored and 36 conceded, needs to maintain its competitiveness in La Liga. Currently, the Yellow Submarine has several injured players, including Ayoze Pérez and Gerard Moreno, increasing the need for reinforcements.
