Summary: Fulham - Benfica 5:1 (Sport1)
Long weeks of negotiations ended tonight (Monday) with Fulham's announcement of the addition of Manor Solomon.
The 23-year-old midfielder was loaned from Shakhtar Donetsk to the new entrant to the Premier League sponsored by FIFA, which approved the players of the Ukrainian league to freeze their contracts for the season and leave on loan without compensation.
Although his signing only became official today, Solomon joined the Cottagers earlier this month and was with the team at the training camp in Portugal, when bureaucratic matters prevented the Londoners from announcing his inclusion and taking part in the warm-up games.

The excited Solomon gave his first interview to Fulham's website after the signing in which he said: "I am very happy to be here. It has always been my dream to play in the Premier League and I am happy that I will fulfill it at Fulham. I have heard a lot about Fulham, it is a great club and I am looking forward to getting started."
Why did he choose Fulham: "The Premier League is the best league in the world by a large margin and all the best players in the world want to reach it. It is also a very family club, I talked to the coach many times and he really wanted me in the team from day one. I saw games from last season, because Fulham started the talks It's been with me for a few months now, so I know what to expect and believe it's possible to make the fans happy."
On the fact that he was only just officially announced as a team player: "It was very complex, but the most important thing is that I'm here in the end and that I joined Fulham. I met the players, the coach and the team and I'm very satisfied with what I saw and I'm just waiting to start playing."

I dreamed of playing in the English league and I believe that we can have a very good season together and achieve our goals."

I hope to score and cook as much as possible and do everything to make the fans happy. I'm still young and want to continue and to improve - and I'm sure that the English league is the best stage in the world to show your abilities, a league where every week you play at the level of the Champions League."
The fact that he signed on loan for the season: "We want to stay in the league, that's the goal that everyone knows, but we want to show all the audience and the teams that we deserve the best league in the world. From a personal point of view? I want to continue playing here, English football is what I like the most and after this year at Fulham we'll see What will".
