Fulham agree loan deal for Shakhtar Donetsk winger Manor Solomon after discussions over permanent deal collapsed following the introduction of new FIFA rulings

Fulham have agreed to sign Shakhtar Donetsk winger Manor Solomon on loan.

The 22-year-old winger is set to arrive in London today to finalise a deal to join Marco Silva's side for the season, with his first choice always being the Premier League newcomers.

The two clubs had reportedly come close to agreeing a permanent deal worth around £6million last month, but discussions were affected by a FIFA ruling which would allow Ukraine-based foreign players to suspend their contracts until June 2023.
