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

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 February 4, 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 February 16, 2014 Dabour had his first appearance at Zurich, when he came on from the bench in the second half scoring two goal and assisting once, providing his team with the required attitude and skill to win the game with the score of 5-1 against St. Gallen. Dabour finished his deubt season at Grasshopper with nine goals and four assists in 15 league matches. The 2014-15 season was comparatively less successful but Dabbur still managed a healthy return, 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 blistering start to the 2015-16 season, scoring 6 and assisting 8 goals in his club's first eight games. This incredible run of form included a goal and a hat trick of assists in Grasshopper's opening game against FC Thun, and so far he has been able to contribute to a goal in seven of his side's first eight games.

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.[3][4]

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.[5] 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.[6]

Personal life

Dabour's brother, Anas Dabour is currently playing as a midfielder for Hapoel Haifa. Dabour's father Kasam was killed in a car accident in 2009.[7]
