I really think that Solomon is the player with the highest upside relative to expectations during the second half of the season. The narrative when he signed was a mixture of blaming Levy for looking for the free deal and some viewed it as taking advantage of the war in Ukraine.
He was, in my opinion, the best positive surprise during pre-season together with Lo Celso. In one of his two starts in the league he created 5 chances and got 2 assists against Burnley.
Since then we've signed Johnson and (soon) Werner whereas Solomon has become somewhat forgotten, especially by rival fans.
He is our best dribbler in the forward line, can play on both flanks and is able to impact the game from the bench as he showed last season when he scored as a sub in three straight games for Fulham.
Agree, I do feel he has been forgotten about somewhat. Personally I’m really looking forward to see him back especially now Son’s gone. Im really hoping he’s fit enough to make the bench against Utd. I’ve never been a big fan of Werner on the wing, he’s much better at CF so the sooner Solomon is back the better.
