Manor Solomon’s wife has responded to reports linking the Fulham loanee with Premier League giants Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur, telling Sport1 that the future looks bright for the Israel international.
All credit must go to Marco Silva and Fulham’s recruitment team.
In Joao Palhinha, the Cottagers snapped up one of Europe’s finest defensive midfielders last summer; a man who averages more tackles than anyone else in the Premier League by a considerable margin.
But even Palhinha’s impact pales in comparison with Solomon’s.
The Shakhtar Donestk loanee has scored in five successive Fulham appearances now, following up a couple of gorgeous finishes with an instinctive header during Monday’s 3-2 defeat at Brentford.
Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal like Fulham’s Manor Solomon
Silva knows that Fulham will face a battle to hang onto Solomon this summer; London rivals Tottenham and Arsenal among those reportedly interested.
And Dana Waszcina, Solomon’s wife, believes that things are looking up for a man making up for lost time after so long out through injury.
“For me, personally, it’s exciting,” Waszcina says when asked about those Arsenal and Spurs links
“But let’s wait and see because you never know what will happen in the summer, as always. I hope that we will be in a good place. At a good team, and that both of us will be good.
“I believe in him very much. bBcause I see up close how hard he works, I very much hope (he can become a legend of Israeli football). I believe in him, and I think it is possible.”
Fabrizio Romano believes that a wide range of clubs are now keeping tabs on the one-time Manchester City target. Avi Luzon, president of his former club Maccabi Petah Tikva, wonders if £15 million may be enough to twist Shakhtar’s arm.
“For me, he is worth 100 million. But if we are realistic, we can talk about 15 million,” Luzon says.
“In recent years, he’s been working and improving. Even in the national team, it took him a while to score.
“He’s a kid who, in every game and training session, thinks of how to improve. How to improve his finishing, his dribbling and his team play. He doesn’t score a goal or two and rest on his laurels.”
