Winger Niv Zarihan signed today (Tuesday) with Hapoel Tel Aviv for one season with an option for another season. Hapoel Tel Aviv is the fifth stop in the career of the 28-year-old player, after previously playing for MS. Ashdod, Hapoel Beer Sheva, Bnei Yehuda and Beitar Jerusalem. He will earn 80 thousand dollars.
Zarihan arrives at the Khodorov complex 7 years late. In 2015, he already signed with Hapoel Tel Aviv on the last day of the transfer window, but then it turned out that his registration was 7 minutes after the window closed and he remained in M.S. Ashdod.
Recently, talks were held with the winger Amit Zanti, but apparently the addition of Zarihan will prevent his arrival.
In addition, Hapoel Tel Aviv offered David Keltins a contract for three seasons in case he is released from Hapoel Be’er Sheva. In the capital of the Negev, a decision has not yet been made whether to release Keltins – and if so, how much transfer fees to demand. As I recall, Beer Sheva paid 1.5 million dollars for Keltins.
Slobodan Drapić will conduct a debut training session today, the coach wants to see the squad for several days before making decisions. Drapić wanted to hold a practice match, but at the moment the team does not have a sufficiently full squad.
