reported that Solomon will sign a five-year contract. And Romano has now noted on Twitter that he is in the capital to complete his medical ahead of the switch.

Here is what the journalist posted on Tuesday morning…

Solomon is perhaps not exactly a marquee signing for Spurs. However, this could prove to be such a brilliant piece of business from Ange Postecoglou’s side.

He could command a hefty fee. But he is set to move for nothing. And he is someone who has started to prove himself in the Premier League, scoring four times for Fulham last year.

He averaged better than a goal every five games with Shakhtar. And he can play in a variety of roles, including both wings. So he offers cover in a number of areas.

Certainly, there are likely to be plenty of rival clubs who are left to kick themselves once Tottenham get a move for Solomon across the line.
