He is considered one of the top 5 players in Matchday 13 of the Thai League 1 in an article by FOX Sports Asia.[2]

Club career

Salom scored a 94th-minute winner over Excursionistas which saw Barracas Central gain promotion to the Primera B Metropolitana. He then went on to sign with Olimpo de Bahía Blanca of the Argentine Primera División.^{[citation needed]}

Controversy

On September 19, 2017 Mexico was hit by a strong 7.1 earthquake in the state of Puebla which became known as the 2017 Central Mexico earthquake. After the earthquake, where hundreds of Mexicans lost their life mostly due to the collapse of buildings, Carlos Salom stated that he wished he had never gone to play soccer in Mexico, claiming he was forced to migrate to Mexico by his agent. After his statement, locals and Argentinians that live in Mexico strongly criticized him calling him ungrateful. The most noted was the Argentinean naturalized Mexican citizen Damián Zamogilny, who is considered as an iconic player in Puebla F.C. Zamogilny was quoted saying "if Carlos really wants to leave Mexico, he should rescind his contract and leave as soon as possible". Soon after the social media storm, Carlos came out and apologised for his statement. He was relegated from the first team and was sent to play in the reserves after this incident.

International career

Salom was born and raised in Argentina, but has great-grandparents from Palestine. As a result, he was eligible, and called up in March 2016, to the Palestine national football team.[3] Salom scored in his debut for Palestine in a 1-1 friendly draw against Tajikistan in September 2016.[4]
