Shon Zalman Weissman (or Sean, שון זלמן וייסמן; born 14 February 1996) is an Israeli professional footballer who plays as a forward for club Salernitana, on loan from the Spanish La Liga club Granada.

He also plays for the Israel national team.

An academy graduate of Israeli side Maccabi Haifa, Weissman made his senior debut for the club in 2014 before spending three seasons on loan with Israeli clubs Hapoel Acre, Maccabi Netanya, and Ironi Kiryat Shmona.

In Maccabi Netanya, he enjoyed a particularly successful campaign which culminated in the club reaching promotion to the Israeli Premier League.

On 20 January 2014, 17-year-old Weissman made his senior debut in the Israeli Premier League match against Hapoel Be'er Sheva.

On 19 August 2015, Weissman signed for fellow Israeli Premier League club Hapoel Acre on a season-long loan from Maccabi Haifa.

After scoring no goals in 18 appearances, the loan deal was cancelled in January 2016.

For the 2016–17 season, Weissman was sent on a season-long loan again, this time to second division club Maccabi Netanya.

He managed to score 12 goals in 21 league appearances, helping Maccabi Netanya achieve promotion to the Israeli Premier League as they were crowned champions at the end of the season.

In the following season, Weissman made one appearance for Maccabi Haifa before being sent out on loan once again in August 2017, this time to fellow Premier League side Ironi Kiryat Shmona.

In September 2017, in a league match against F.C. Ashdod, Weissman scored his first goal on the highest level of Israeli football in a 2–0 win for Ironi Kiryat Shmona.

He made 26 league appearances for the club, scoring three times.

Following the expiration of his loan, Weissman returned to Maccabi Haifa.

He made his first appearance in the season as a substitute in the league match against Maccabi Tel Aviv on 26 August, receiving a yellow card shortly after in a 0–2 loss.

A few days later, on 1 September, Weissman scored his first Maccabi Haifa goal when he netted in a 2–0 home win over F.C. Ashdod.

He ended the season with eight goals in 25 league appearances.

In the 2019–20 season, while playing with Austrian side Wolfsberger AC, he became the club's first goalscorer in a European competition and was the Austrian Bundesliga's top scorer that season with 30 goals out of 31 matches.

Formerly an Israel youth international, Weissman represented the nation from under-17 level.

His parents divorced when he was 13, and he lived with his mother Varda and his younger brother Shoval.

His grandmother is a Holocaust survivor.

Weissman is observant and does not play football on the Jewish high holiday of Yom Kippur.

He was enlisted and has served in the Israeli Air Force to complete his mandatory military service.

At the end of 2023 his opinions on the invasion of Gaza sparked vast outrage in Spain.

He also holds Portuguese passport, on account of his Sephardi Jewish ancestors, which eases the move to certain European football leagues.

On 22 May 2019, he married his Israeli girlfriend Eden ( Markovich), his highschool sweetheart.

On 20 June 2019, Weissman joined Austrian Football Bundesliga club Wolfsberger AC, signing a two-year contract and being handed shirt No. 9. On 17 August, in the fourth round of the league, he scored four goals in a 5–0 home victory over SV Mattersburg.

Before the match, he had scored in three consecutive league appearances for the Carinthian club.

On 19 September 2019, Weissman scored the first goal in a 4–0 win over German club Borussia Mönchengladbach in the Europa League group stage, Wolfsberger AC's first European goal ever.

He finished the 2019–20 season with 30 league goals which made him the Austrian Bundesliga's top scorer.

Their first daughter Alma Leah Weissman was born in August 2020.

Weissman started his career with Israeli hometown club, Maccabi Haifa.

On 31 August 2020, Weissman signed with Spanish La Liga club Real Valladolid until 2024.

He became the most expensive signing in Real Valladolid's history at €4 million.

He scored his first goals in his ninth game for Valladolid, a 3–2 home win over CA Osasuna.

After his first season ended in relegation, Weissman remained playing for Valladolid in the Segunda División.

On 29 August 2021, he scored in a 2–0 win at CD Lugo before receiving a straight red card in the 38th minute.
