Manor Solomon Joins West Ham and Will Wear Number 10 for First Time
Israeli winger Manor Solomon is set to join West Ham United, a club competing in England's Championship, marking a new chapter in his career. This move follows his recent stint at Fiorentina, where he impressed during the latter half of the season, and his participation in Tottenham Hotspur's summer training camp, where he was among the players with the most minutes but ultimately did not secure a spot on their roster.
West Ham has officially announced Solomon's signing, and images have surfaced showing him wearing the number 10 jersey for the first time in his club career, a number he previously only wore for the Israeli national team. Solomon becomes the fourth Israeli to play for West Ham, joining former players Yaniv Katan, Eyal Berkovic, and Yossi Benayoun.
The number 10 shirt at West Ham has a storied history, previously worn by notable players such as Lucas Paqueta, Jeff Hurst, who scored the winning goal in the 1966 World Cup final, John Hartson, Manuel Lanzini, and club legend Sir Trevor Brooking. Solomon's arrival and new jersey number highlight his growing prominence and the club's expectations for his impact in the upcoming season.
