Moanes Dabour (or Dabbur, Template:Lang-ar, Template:Lang-he; born 14 May 1992) is an Israeli footballer who plays as a striker for the Israel national football team and Red Bull Salzburg in the Austrian Football Bundesliga.

Club career

Maccabi Tel Aviv

Dabour started his career in the Maccabi Nazareth and Maccabi Tel Aviv youth academies. He made his senior debut with Maccabi Tel Aviv on 2011. In 2011–12, he participated in 26 league matches for Maccabi, scoring eight goals.

In the 2012–13 season, he was part of the Maccabi team that won the Israeli league championship after a ten-year drought, providing the team with 10 goals in 26 matches. Dabour started the season providing two important goals on 27 August 2011 against Maccabi Haifa, goals that were described as "extremely crucial" for the rest of the season in the tight race for achieving the title.

Dabour ended the season after being injured for a one-month period during the warm up to the derby match against Hapoel Tel Aviv on 6 April 2013.[1]

Grasshopper

On 4 February 2014, Dabour confirmed his transfer to the Swiss Super League after Grasshopper Club Zürich paid a transfer fee of $425,000 to Maccabi Tel Aviv.[2] On 16 February 2014, he had his first appearance at Zurich, when he came on from the bench in the second half scoring two goal and assisting once in a 5–1 win against St. Gallen. Dabour finished his debut season at Grasshopper with nine goals and four assists in 15 league matches.

The 2014–15 season was comparatively less successful with Dabbur scoring 13 times in the league and 5 in the cup. He also provided 8 assists in the league, reaffirming his position as one of Grasshopper's best and most valuable players.

During the summer of 2015, several clubs were rumoured to be interested in Dabbur, including Werder Bremen and Palermo. However, the only two clubs to bid for him were the aforementioned Palermo and his old club, Maccabi Tel-Aviv. Both bids were rejected and Dabbur signed a new, greatly improved contract with Grasshoppers. Dabbur enjoyed a good start to the 2015–16 season, scoring 6 and assisting 8 goals in his club's first eight games including a goal and a hat-trick of assists in Grasshopper's opening game against Thun.

Red Bull Salzburg

During the 2017-18 season Salzburg had their best ever European campaign. They finished top of their Europa League group, for a record fourth time, before beating Real Sociedad and Borussia Dortmund thus making their first ever appearance in the UEFA Europa League semi-final.[3] On 3 May 2018, he played in the Europa League semi-finals as Olympique de Marseille played out a 1–2 away loss but a 3–2 aggregate win to secure a place in the 2018 UEFA Europa League Final.[4]

In 17 January 2019 Dabour signed for Spanish club Sevilla FC .[5]. The Isreali has agreed to a four-year contract and will stay with his current team until the end of the campaign, and will join Sevilla FC in July 2019.

International career

In 2013, Dabour was part of the Israel U-21 national team that played in the 2013 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship that was hosted in Israel. Dabour started in two out of three matches during the group stage of the tournament, against the U21 national teams of England and Italy.[6][7]

In May 2014, Dabour was named by coach Eli Guttman in the senior Israeli national football team's 25-man squad to play two friendlies against Mexico and Honduras.[8] He made his senior debut against Honduras in a 4–2 victory on 1 June 2014. He scored his first goal for the national team against Andorra in a 4–0 victory on 3 September 2015, in UEFA Euro 2016 qualification.[9]

Personal life

Dabour is an Arab-Israeli, and he is a Muslim.[10][11] His brother, Anas Dabour is currently playing as a midfielder for Bnei Lod. Dabour's father Kasam died in a car accident in 2009.[12] In an interview with Craig Mitch on the 22nd of December 2018, Dabour revealed himself as a lifelong Arsenal fan, citing Thierry Henry as his inspiration behind wanting to become a striker.
