Simon Elisor is currently the leading scorer in the Romanian Superliga. He has netted seven goals in seven appearances during the current season. This strong start places him at the top of the league's goalscoring chart.

The forward joined Universitatea Craiova in the summer transfer window. He arrived from the Portuguese club Famalicao. His move to Romania marked a new chapter in his professional career.

Elisor began his campaign with a goal in the first round. He scored in a 4-0 victory over UTA Arad. This performance set the tone for his subsequent matches.

His scoring record includes a brace in a 5-0 win against FCSB. He also found the net in victories over Petrolul, U Cluj, Csikszereda, and Farul Constanța. These contributions have been vital for his team's early season results.

Simon Elisor's sister, Salome Elisor, is also a professional footballer. She plays as a central midfielder for the women's team at Olympique Marseille. Her career has followed a different path in French football.

Salome Elisor previously represented several clubs during her career. Her past teams include Lille, Lyon, Le Havre, and Grenoble. These experiences shaped her development before joining Marseille.

Her time at Marseille has been marked by resilience. She recovered from a serious anterior cruciate ligament injury. Since returning to fitness, she has become a key player for the team.

Beyond her duties on the pitch, Salome Elisor maintains other professional roles. She works as a fashion model. She also serves as a sports analyst for French media outlets alongside her football career.
