Tottenham finished eighth in the Premier League last season and missed out on European qualification.

Solomon joined Fulham on loan from Shakhtar after exercising a Fifa rule allowing Ukraine-based players to suspend their contracts.

The rule, applying to players who are not Ukrainian nationals, was introduced by the world governing body following the invasion by Russia.

Solomon's performances helped Fulham to a 10th-placed Premier League finish and manager Marco Silva was keen to keep him.

He has 35 caps for Israel and has scored seven goals since making his international debut in 2018.
