Translated & summarized from Mako by baba
The story · English

Israeli winger Manor Solomon said he has “unfinished business with the Premier League” in a wide-ranging interview on Sport 5’s “Asnaheim Me’areach,” published on June 24, 2026 at 14:03. The conversation covered his career path, his personal life, and the major setbacks and turning points that shaped him.

Solomon discussed his standout performance against Real Madrid, recalling that he and his teammates “looked at each other and were in shock.” He also described his escape from Kyiv when war broke out, saying he got into a car and prayed, “Shema Yisrael.” He spoke about financial support for his family, the pressures of fame, and the biggest dream he is still chasing.

The interview touched on his development from youth sports to professional football, his move to Shakhtar Donetsk, and whether he experienced breakdowns after joining the Ukrainian club. It also referenced his time at Leeds United, where he had an excellent season and helped them earn promotion, as well as the moment he realized that leaving after that season was a mistake. He was also asked about injury spells, including the one in October, his phone call from Tottenham, and how he spent those difficult days.

Other topics included his relationship with fans, the money he earned, what he allowed himself to buy once he had significant wealth, and how he helps his family. The interview also asked about jealousy from others, his friends in football, the price of being Manor Solomon, the league he most wants to play in, whether Tottenham remains a dream, and what he would tell his younger self. The clear answer to the biggest ambition remains the English Premier League.
