Tottenham Hotspur look set to part ways with a first-team player after reports revealed he has agreed a pre-contract deal with Leeds United, clearing the path for a free transfer at the end of the season.
Those close to the situation say talks advanced rapidly behind the scenes, with Leeds acting swiftly to beat off competition and secure the player’s commitment. As a result, the Spurs man will be able to complete the move once his current contract in north London expires.
Leeds see the capture as a clear statement of ambition as they continue to assemble a squad capable of competing at the top level. His Premier League pedigree and experience in high-pressure situations are understood to have played a major role in their pursuit.
For Tottenham, the situation highlights another contract headache, with questions likely to be asked about allowing a key asset to enter the final months of his deal.
Although the club has yet to comment publicly, the development is expected to divide opinion among supporters.
A formal announcement is anticipated in due course, pending final details but all indications suggest Elland Road is set to welcome a notable Spurs figure.
one Spurs player linked with a potential Leeds reunion is winger Manor Solomon — Leeds have reportedly been exploring the possibility of signing him again after his successful loan spell there in 2024–25.
