TOTTENHAM are in the hunt for Manor Solomon - who is set to be available for nothing this summer.
The Israeli has been at Fulham on a year-long deal after suspending his contract with Shakhtar Donetsk, following Russia's illegal invasion of Ukraine.
Fifa have ruled that he can leave Shakhtar for free this summer, sparking interest from a number of clubs across Europe.
In amongst them are Spurs, as well as Fulham who would like to sign him permanently.
Winger Solomon, 23, netted five goals in 24 appearances for the Cottagers this term in all competitions.

All five strikes came in consecutive games during a particularly hot streak in February and early March.
Shakhtar chief Sergei Palkin has criticised Fifa's decision to allow their players to move abroad for nothing.
He said: "The over-reaching measures applied by Fifa led to massive loss of player transfer income and a depletion of essential Club revenues.
"We believe the extension of Annex 7 continues to place clubs like FC Shakhtar in Ukraine in a seriously disadvantaged position with zero protection and threatens our very existence."
Shakhtar continue to fight for for £60m compensation for losses caused since the Annex 7 rules were first imposed after the Russian invastion of Ukraine in February 2022.
In December, the club lost their case at the Court of Arbitration for Sport but are now appealing to the European Commission and Swiss Federal Supreme Court.
Shakhtar claim Fifa have breached Ukrainian and Swiss employment law, and European anti-trust regulations.
They say they have missed out on transfer fees for players who have already left on free transfers or who, like Solomon, are set to do so.
Shakhtar also claim that they received lower fees than they would have done under normal circumstances for players they sold like Brazilians David Neres and Dodo, who left last year for Benfica and Fiorentina respectively.
Palkin said: “Unfortunately, several proposals made by FC Shakhtar via the European Club Association regarding possible amendments to the regulations were turned down by FIFA."

The sale of Mykhailo Mudryk to Chelsea in January in a deal worth up to £88m, and Champions League and Europa League participation, have helped Shakhtar avoid financial disaster for now.
But Palkin warned Shakhtar and other clubs faced ruin unless a solution was found.
