The Israel international spent the first half of the campaign on loan in Spain with Villarreal.

However, the 26-year-old only made six La Liga appearances for the Yellow Submarine, scoring one goal and that prompted the parties to discuss an early termination of the loan.

Solomon only joined Villarreal in the final hours of the summer window after he was told he was surplus to requirements at Tottenham.

Intriguingly, he has now joined Fiorentina, who have been strongly linked with a swoop for Spurs sporting director Fabio Paratici.

La Viola, currently two points adrift at the bottom of Serie A, are desperate to fight their way out of trouble as continue to flirt with the prospect of relegation to Serie B.

Fiorentina have also been linked with a loan for Spurs' Romanian defender Radu Dragusin.

Solomon has now completed his medical tests and looks poised to join La Viola imminently. The deal is an initial loan which will also include an £8.72million buy-option.

The former Fulham starlet joined the north London club in July 2023 on a free transfer from Ukrainian giants Shakhtar Donetsk.

He has made just six appearances for Spurs, however, as his fine start to the 2023-24 campaign under Ange Postecoglou was cut short by a serious knee injury.

Solomon was forced to undergo surgery on his meniscus and later came close to joining Crystal Palace last summer, only for the transfer to collapse.

The Israeli will not be the only forward to depart Spurs at the start of the January window with Brennan Johnson set to join Palace for £35m.

The Welshman is understood to have met with Eagles boss Oliver Glasner on Thursday ahead of making a final decision on a transfer.

Bournemouth, Everton and Sunderland had also shown an interest but Johnson is set to join the Eagles imminently.

Tottenham paid £47.5m to land the 24-year-old back in September 2023. He finished up as their top-goalscorer in all competitions last term with 18 - including the precious winner in the Europa League final.

There has also been loan interest in winger Mathys Tel with Roma said to be among the Frenchman's admirers.

Meanwhile, centre-back Kota Takai has sealed a season-long loan switch to Borussia Monchengladbach in Germany.
