Spurs face Manor Solomon dilemma as Villarreal loan sours

December 2025

Solomon’s second loan spell, this time at Villarreal, has stalled after a bright start, with just 358 minutes and one goal across 11 games leaving the winger frustrated. His loan deal reportedly contains a clause allowing an early January termination. Villarreal could cut the Israeli’s spell short to free wages and a squad spot, forcing Spurs to decide whether to reintegrate him for the run-in or arrange another short-term move. With game time limited in Spain and previous Leeds loan experience, Solomon’s next step will shape his stalled Premier League career.

Harvey Elliott’s season-long loan at Aston Villa has stalled badly, with the midfielder limited to a single Premier League start and excluded from the last seven league matchday squads, putting pressure on Liverpool to consider recalling him before a purchase clause activates.

Inter Milan are reportedly exploring a January deal for Emiliano Martinez as they consider upgrading in goal, with Aston Villa believed to be open to selling the Argentine if a substantial offer arrives after a failed summer switch to Manchester United.

Welbeck tipped for shock United return to guide struggling Sesko after knee scare

Danny Welbeck (Brighton) has been linked with a surprise return to Manchester United, with observers suggesting the in-form 34-year-old could mentor Benjamin Sesko (Manchester United) and bolster a misfiring attack as the young Slovenian battles poor form and a worrying new knee problem. Revitalised under Fabian Hurzeler (Brighton), Welbeck has hit six league goals in 11 games, prompting rumours of a comeback to Old Trafford. Sesko’s latest setback came after a lively cameo against Tottenham, cut short by a knee issue that left Ruben Amorim (Manchester United) concerned and increased pressure to sign a striker.
