West Ham completed Manor Solomon’s permanent signing from Tottenham on a three-year contract in August 2026, BBC Sport reported. The club did not disclose a fee; the BBC understood the price to be about £5m. Solomon became West Ham’s third permanent arrival of the summer as they prepared for Championship football.
Before completion, The Standard reported an initial agreement for £5m upfront and a further £2m in add-ons, with a reported sell-on clause. That was an account of the proposed structure before the medical and announcement, rather than a disclosure of the final contract by either club.
Almost Signed analysis: the roughly £5m completion figure and the earlier multi-part package are not necessarily competing valuations. The BBC number aligns with The Standard’s upfront component, while the earlier report separately described conditional payments. Reading them as fixed cash plus reported contingencies explains the apparent difference without assuming the add-ons were paid or that the final contract retained every proposed condition.
The sporting context is also specific: the BBC records Solomon’s involvement in Leeds’ Championship promotion and quotes his aim of helping West Ham return to the Premier League. That is relevant experience and a stated objective, not evidence that a particular role, appearance total or promotion outcome was guaranteed by the new deal.
What remains unconfirmed
- The clubs did not disclose the final fee; the earlier add-on and sell-on terms remain attributed reporting.
