NEW: Tottenham Hotspur Submit Deal Sheets for Two Separate Deadline Day Transfers
Transfer deadline day rarely passes without drama, and this year Tottenham Hotspur are right at the heart of it. When deals cannot quite be finalised before the official window closes, clubs are permitted to submit what is known as a “deal sheet.” This mechanism effectively buys them an additional two hours to complete all the formalities, provided that the broad agreement between clubs is already in place. Spurs have taken advantage of this option tonight, lodging two deal sheets as they push to complete business on both incoming and outgoing fronts.
The North London club are working simultaneously on bringing in French striker Randal Kolo Muani from Paris Saint-Germain and sanctioning the departure of winger Manor Solomon, who is set to link up with Crystal Palace.

Tottenham Submit Dual Deal Sheets After the Deadline
Sky Sports’ Lyall Thomas was among the first to reveal that Spurs had lodged paperwork for both transactions. According to his update, the Kolo Muani transfer had been in the works for much of the day, with Fabrizio Romano reporting that an agreement for a loan was reached as early as six hours prior to the deadline. The deal, however, dragged into the final moments and required a deal sheet to ensure it could be pushed through.
Kolo Muani’s loan switch comes with a reported fee in the region of £4 million. Notably, Tottenham have not secured an option to buy, meaning the Frenchman will return to PSG at the end of the season unless further negotiations take place. His contract was signed before the cut-off, but the finer details could not be processed before the clock struck, making the deal sheet a necessity.
For Spurs, his arrival is significant. The versatile attacker bolsters a frontline that has been left somewhat threadbare, particularly given Dominic Solanke’s early-season injury absence. While Richarlison has carried the scoring burden well so far—registering three goal contributions already—the addition of Kolo Muani offers both depth and flexibility. He is capable of leading the line as a central striker or operating across the flanks, an important trait for Tottenham given their failure to land alternative winger targets this summer, including long-term pursuit Savinho.

Solomon Finally Finds Clarity
While Kolo Muani’s incoming move excites Spurs supporters, the deal sheet lodged for Manor Solomon has cleared up speculation regarding the Israeli international’s future. Having spent the 2024/25 campaign on loan at Leeds United, the winger impressed in flashes and became a player many Leeds fans were eager to see return permanently. However, the Whites did not secure his services, opening the door for another Premier League suitor.
That suitor is Crystal Palace, who have agreed a loan deal for the upcoming 2025/26 season. The move will hand Solomon a fresh platform to re-establish himself in England’s top flight, while Spurs will reduce the size of their squad and free up minutes for other attackers. Though it is only a temporary move, Palace view Solomon as an asset who can provide creativity and energy in wide areas as they aim to build on a steady campaign last season.

What It Means for Spurs
Submitting two deal sheets in one evening underlines just how busy Tottenham’s recruitment team have been on deadline day. The club, now under Thomas Frank’s guidance, has been keen to reshape its attacking options after a window that saw both frustrations and breakthroughs. While the lack of a buy option in Kolo Muani’s deal may frustrate some, his presence ensures Spurs remain competitive across domestic and European fronts. Meanwhile, Solomon’s exit brings clarity to a situation that had been lingering for weeks.
With paperwork now submitted, Spurs fans can only wait for final confirmation, but the sense is that the club have navigated another chaotic deadline day with decisive—if last-minute—action.
