Lior Asulin (Hebrew: ליאור אסולין; born 6 October 1980) is an Israeli footballer who correctly plays as a striker for Apollon Limassol.
A native of Ra'anana, Israel he grew up in the youth system of Maccabi Herzliya and it was there that he made the jump to Israel's highest league, Ligat ha'Al but didn't last long as the club was relegated just two seasons after he made the first team. In Liga Leumit Lior scored a league leading twenty-eight goals, so after the 2001/02 season, club chairman Ariel Shaiman loaned Lior out to clubs in the top league and signed him to a long term contract with Herzliya hoping to cash in on a large transfer fee.
During his seasons on loan, Lior has won the State Cup and established himself as one of the top Israeli strikers in the domestic league. Subsequently, after the end of the 2005-06 season, Herzliya chairman Ariel Shaiman disclosed to the media that he received lucrative offers from Olympique de Marseille and OGC Nice from France, from Russia, Turkey, 3 teams from Cyprus, and from a team in Greece for Asulin's services though nothing has ever come about from said offers.
In June 2007, he signed for a four-year contract with Hapoel Tel Aviv. on January 2008 after a not so good time in Hapoel with a record of 0 league goal he signed for Apollon Limassol.
