Career

Elazığspor

On the final day of the January transfer market 2019, Solakel was one of 22 players, who within two hours, signed up to play for the Turkish club Elazığspor.^[1] The club had been placed under a transfer embargo but successfully managed to negotiate it with the Turkish FA, leading to them going on a mad spree of signing and registering a load of players despite not even having a permanent manager in place. In just two hours, they managed to snap up a record 22 players - 12 coming in on permanent contracts and a further 10 joining on loan deals until the end of the season.^{[citation needed]}
