Leeds United are preparing for one of the biggest games of the season when they take on Sheffield United at Bramall Lane on Monday night. However, there is palpable excitement about Leeds getting promoted this season and speculation is on the rise about their summer transfer window. The Whites are expected to bring in reinforcements for several areas of their squad in the summer but the club also have plans to retain players from their current squad. The club are now stepping up on their interest in trying to have one of those current stars stay put at Elland Road beyond the end of the current campaign.
Daniel Farke has been keen to ensure that his players do not look too far ahead before the job gets done but he has even indicated that they are closing in on promotion to the Premier League.
The Leeds boss admitted that 20 more points from their remaining 13 league games should get the job done and the inevitable rumours around the club’s plans for the summer are doing the rounds.
Leeds are aware that they would need to raise the level of their squad by several manifolds in the summer if they want to have a chance of survival in the Premier League.
They are looking at several players ahead of the transfer window but the club are also expected to shift their focus towards holding on to one of the stars who have made a major difference to their season.
Leeds United plan talks to keep winger at Elland Road
Manor Solomon has been nursing a knock, which has made his availability for the trip to Bramall Lane to take on Sheffield United on Monday night a major doubt.
He joined Leeds on loan from Tottenham and while it took him some time to settle, the Israeli winger has been in brilliant form since breaking into the starting eleven in December.
Leeds are keen to hold on to him beyond the end of the loan stint and are prepared to discuss a deal with Tottenham in the summer transfer window.
With promotion looking like a certainty at this point, Leeds are now set to step up on their interest in Solomon and according to TEAMTalk, they will soon hold talks with Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy.
Leeds are looking to ascertain the transfer fee Spurs are likely to demand for the Israeli winger in the summer before they make any formal offers for him.
The Whites are now reasonably confident of getting a deal done to sign Solomon in the next window as long as they get promoted to the Premier League.
Everton and a few other Premier League clubs also have their eyes on the winger, but Leeds are confident of beating others to his permanent signature in the next transfer window.
Leed would want to get this done soon
Solomon’s performances have made it clear to Leeds that they should do everything in their power to ensure that he stays at Elland Road beyond the end of his loan stint.
The winger feels settled at Leeds and it seems likely that he would be open to staying at the club if they get promoted to the Premier League.
However, there is expected to be more interest in him from other Premier League clubs next summer and Spurs would prefer to spark off an auction for his services.

However, Leeds need to move quickly and start working on a deal to sign him on a permanent contract as soon as it becomes certain that they will be in the Premier League next season.
The earlier the move for him, the easier it would be for them to strike a deal with Tottenham and secure his services early in the summer transfer window.
Solomon has emerged as a fan favourite this season and the Leeds supporters are desperate to see him stay put at Elland Road.
