Early and personal life

Lemkin was born and raised in Tel Aviv, Israel. His father is Israeli lawyer Shachar Lemkin, who also manages his football career.^[3][4] His mother Yana Lemkin is a designer and a social-volunteer in Israel, who hails from the Soviet Ukraine (now Ukraine) before her immigration to Israel, although she still has some relatives who reside in the Ukraine.^[5][4]

He also holds a Spanish passport, on account of his Sephardi Jewish ancestors, which eases the move to certain European football leagues.^[1][6][7]
