Forward ‘has chosen’ to sign for Fulham – Deal ‘close to being finalised’, ‘confirmed by his entourage’

About a week or so ago, it was made clear that Fulham were in a fight to try and sign Manor Solomon from Shakhtar Donetsk.

OGC Nice were their rivals, and it appears the Premier League side have now won the battle, as the Ligue 1 side are no longer in contention.

This comes courtesy of Foot Mercato in France, who explain the player had the choice to either move to London or the south of France, and he chose the former.

The website point out that ‘despite a last minute forcing’ from Nice, the Israeli winger ‘has chosen’ the transfer to Fulham; an information ‘confirmed by his entourage’.

Not only that, but those around him said the deal was ‘close to being finalised’.

Signed from Maccabi Petah Tikva in 2019, the forward made 106 appearances for the Ukrainian side, scoring 22 goals and assisting another nine.

It appears it will now be Marco Silva and Fulham who enjoy his qualities going forward, in hope that he can produce enough spark to help the Cottagers avoid an immediate return to the Championship.
