Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Marco Silva has been discussing Manor Solomon’s future at Fulham.
The Israeli winger has been in fabulous form as of late. He’s scored four goals in his last four appearances for the Whites, and, inevitably, this good form has led to links to the likes of Arsenal and Tottenham, via Ynet.
Silva is well aware that it may be a challenge to keep hold of Solomon, but he says that Fulham are ready for the competition if it does crop up.
Silva wants Solomon
The Fulham boss spoke about the winger’s future.
“We have to be ready, not to lose him, but we have to be ready for the competition in the market if it appears,” said Silva.
“It was a decision we made as a club. Now we have to be ready to face it. Simple as that. In that moment we tried to sign him permanently. For many reasons, which is not important to talk about now, it was not possible.
“It can’t be a drama for us. We knew from the first day what can happen. We tried. I tried my best to sign him permanently in that moment. And now, it is what it is.”
Can they keep him?
Solomon is quickly becoming a fan favourite at Fulham with his dazzling performances and brilliant goals, but the question now is, can they keep hold of him?
Well, ultimately, the decision may lie in Solomon’s hands as he enters the final six months of his Shakhtar Donetsk contract, and if that is the case, Fulham have a chance to keep him.
Indeed, the winger is enjoying a brilliant run of form right now in a team that is flying high, and he surely won’t want to cut that short just to head to either Spurs or Arsenal where he may be more of a bit-part player.
Fulham have as good a chance as anyone when it comes to signing Solomon.
