Shakhtar star Solomon opens up on failed €10m switch to Man City

Shakhtar Donetsk star Manor Solomon has opened up on his failed €10 million (£9m/$12m) switch to Manchester City in 2017.

Solomon began his career in Israel with Maccabi Petah Tikva in 2016, and didn't take long to start attracting attention from top clubs across Europe with his performances.

Shakhtar eventually won the race for the winger's signature after agreeing a €6m (£5m/$7m) deal in January 2019, tying him down to a five-year contract.
