The pacy winger moved to north London on a free transfer this summer following his impressive loan spell at Fulham from Shakhtar Donetsk last season.In six appearances for Tottenham this season, Solomon has recorded two assists – although the arrival of Brennan Johnson from Nottingham Forest has seen him fall below Postecoglou in the attacking talent rankings. However, Salomon was still an important part of the Australian’s forward rotation.
