BREAKING NEWS: Free agent Manor Solomon set for Spurs medical

Shakhtar Donetsk are furious about the FIFA ruling which has allowed non-Ukrainian players to suspend their contracts due to Russia’s invasion of the country.

The Ukrainian club have argued that it has cost them transfer fees on their foreign players, who they were willing to sell, rendering the ruling, in their view, redundant.
