Manor Solomon has decided that he wants to stay at Tottenham beyond the transfer window amid interest from Leicester City.
Leicester have eyed a move for Solomon as they vie to return to the Premier League after being relegated last season.
The Foxes have enjoyed a largely positive start to the Championship season, winning three of their first four games.
Meanwhile, Football Insider have exclusively revealed that Stuttgart have bid £26million to sign Bilal El Khannouss from Leicester.

Solomon was an unused substitute when Spurs were beaten 1-0 by Bournemouth in the Premier League on Saturday, 30 August.
The winger has made just six appearances since joining the North Londoners from Shakhtar Donetsk in 2023, and spent last season on loan with Leeds United in the Championship.
Meanwhile, Alasdair Gold revealed via X on Monday, 1 September: “Manor Solomon is understood to want to remain at Spurs beyond this window.
The club will still listen to offers for the player though today before all parties make a final decision.”

After the Foxes were relegated from the Premier League last season, new boss Marti Cifuentes is tasked with guiding them to promotion.

Meanwhile, the fact that Solomon could stay at Spurs, coupled with Stuttgart’s strong advances for El Khannouss, is damaging for Cifuentes.
The Tottenham winger notched a strong return of 10 goals and 12 assists in 39 Championship appearances for Leeds, helping the West Yorkshire club win the second-tier title.
Having witnessed his previous success at Elland Road, Leicester will believe that Solomon has what it takes to steer them back to the Premier League.
However, if the 26-year-old remains in North London, the Foxes could miss out on promotion back to the top flight amid a long and testing Championship campaign.
Cifuentes’ men made a statement by beating fellow promotion hopefuls Birmingham City on Friday, 29 August, but failing to sign Solomon could prove costly for the King Power Stadium club.
