After moving to Shakhtar, Solomon scored his first UEFA Champions League goal on 1 October 2019, in the 95th minute of an away match against Italian side Atalanta that ended in a 2–1 victory.[25] This made him the then youngest Israeli footballer ever to score in the Champions League, at the age of 20.[26] On 26 November, he scored the equalising goal in a 1–1 Champions League draw away at Manchester City.[25][27]

He made his professional league debut for the club on 19 August, coming on as a late substitute for Dejan Kulusevski in a 2–0 home victory over Manchester United.[50] On 2 September, Solomon assisted Son Heung-min twice in a 5–2 away win against newly promoted Burnley.[51]
On 21 April 2025, Solomon recorded two assists in a 6–0 win over Stoke City.

The goal came in added time and ensured that Leeds United would be crowned as champions of the Championship for the 2024–25 season.[58] Solomon's 10 league goals and 12 assists during the 2024–25 season with Leeds were also a career-high.[59]
