Will three players who played in the Premier League last year cooperate next season with a team from abroad? S. Ashdod, it may add two more players from the senior league in Israel.
According to Alkbarov, Jaber’s friend in Ashdod last year, Kenny Saif, is in advanced negotiations with the group from the capital of Azerbaijan. At the same time, Naftachi is also interested in the services of Goodsway Donio, the offensive striker who has played for Maccabi Haifa for the past two years and left after winning two championships.
While for Jaber this is the first stop outside of Israel, Saif may return to Legionnaire status just one year after returning to the Premier League. The Azerbaijani runner-up will start her career next month in the Conference League qualifiers with a double encounter against Cypriot Aris Limassol, the new team of Julius Ska who arrived from Kiryat Shmona.
As you may recall, Naftachi met Israeli teams several times in the various European factories, when last year she was eliminated by Maccabi Haifa on the way to the home stage of the Conference League. In the past, Bnei Yehuda and Kiryat Shmona also played against the Azeri team and passed it in the preliminary stages.
