Samuel Shashoua (born 13 May 1999) is an English professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for American club Minnesota United.

Club career

Shashoua was born in Chelsea, London.[1] There he attended Harrow School before signing with Tottenham Hotspur in 2015.[2] On 26 August 2018, he moved to Spanish Segunda División B side CD Atlético Baleares on a one-year loan deal.[3]

Shashoua made his senior debut on 9 September 2018, playing the last 18 minutes of a 2–1 away loss against SD Ejea. He scored his first goal late in the month by netting the opener in a 2–1 home defeat of UB Conquense, and finished the campaign with six goals in 33 appearances as his side missed out promotion in the play-offs.

On 23 August 2019, Shashoua was sold to CD Tenerife in Segunda División, and signed a three-year contract with the club.[4][5] The following 14 January, after failing to make an appearance due to an injury, Shashoua was again loaned to Atlético Baleares for the remainder of the season.[6] He only recovered in March, and played in three matches for ATB as the club missed out promotion in the play-offs for a second consecutive year.

Shashoua made his professional debut on 19 September 2020, replacing Bruno Wilson late into a 0–2 away loss against AD Alcorcón.[7] On 29 November, again from the bench, he scored his first goal in a 2–0 win at Albacete Balompié.[8]

Shashoua spent most of the 2022–23 season struggling with injuries,[9] and left the club in June 2023 after his contract expired.[10] On 24 July, he signed a two-year deal with Albacete also in the second division.[11]

On 5 June 2024, Shashoua joined Major League Soccer side Minnesota United on a six-month deal until the end of the season.[12]

Personal life

Born in England, Shashoua is of Venezuelan and Spanish descent.[13][14] His mother is half-Spanish.[14] Shashoua said that he would apply for a Spanish passport at the end of the 2020–21 season.[14]

Shashoua's younger brother Armando is also a footballer and a midfielder; both played together for Atlético Baleares in 2020.[15]
