West Ham United have a clear idea of when Manor Solomon could sign from Tottenham Hotspur.

The Hammers are still awaiting their first new signing of the summer after relegation from the Premier League.

Their first outing of the Championship signing is just over two weeks away, but no fresh faces have come in.

Keiber Lamadrid represents the only money spent as his bizarre loan move was made permanent.

Another winger appears to be on the shopping list with the Israel international emerging as a target.

Solomon could prove to be a wise pick-up for the Irons, but they may need to wait before a deal can be struck.

Why West Ham want Manor Solomon from Tottenham

The lack of incomings has certainly got the E20 faithful worried moving closer to the campaign's opener.

There have been plenty of names linked, but no deals have been done.

The hope will be that the Hammers can push some deals over the line in the coming weeks.

As covered by West Ham Zone, that has most recently seen West Ham linked with a move for Solomon at Tottenham.

The attacker wants a permanent exit from North London after his loan stints at Villarreal and Fiorentina last season.

Those followed a campaign at Leeds United where he contributed to 22 goals and assists in the Championship and fired Daniel Farke's side back to the Premier League.

The German described the attacker as a "game-changer" in an Elland Road interview with Sky Sports, summing up his impact.

The East Londoners could certainly do with someone like that and it could be the best chance to get the Israeli ace as a permanent exit is desired.

That is certainly the opinion of his agent, who looks set to hold out as long as possible to seal a summer deal for Solomon.

What has Solomon's agent said about his next transfer?

It seems as if the forward's representative is doing his utmost to seal his client a new transfer this summer.

Solomon's agent Ronen Katsav has spoken out this summer and revealed that he wants to leave Tottenham.

Speaking to Israeli outlet Sport5 on Sunday, he suggested that a move could be halted until the final days of the summer transfer window, with deadline day scheduled for 1 September.

Katsav said: "He wants to be dominant and significant and that probably won't happen at Tottenham. The real goal is to find a place to play regularly. Manor is a very high-quality player, both mentally and professionally.

"Next season? I don't like to talk about speculation. We have over a month left in the window. What I will say - the goal will be to move on a permanent transfer and not on loan. If you look at it statistically, the last week of the window is the busiest."

That could see a West Ham swoop for Solomon be delayed for nearly a month as the winger and his agent look set to hold out for what they deem the best possible move.
