Hapoel Tel Aviv Nears Signing of Left-Back Yannick Lendle from Dutch League
Hapoel Tel Aviv is close to signing left-back Yannick Lendle, who is expected to join the Israeli Premier League club soon. Lendle played last season in the Dutch top division, appearing in 32 matches with one goal and one assist, but his team, FC Volendam, was relegated after finishing 16th and losing the relegation playoff to Willem II. This potential signing was first reported by Sport 5.
If the deal goes through, Hapoel Tel Aviv will have nine foreign players on their roster, which means the club will need to release at least one player to comply with league regulations. One candidate for departure is Shanda Silva, who remains under contract but has struggled to secure a stable and influential role since joining the team. The club is expected to negotiate with Silva regarding a possible release.
The club aims to strengthen its squad ahead of the upcoming season, balancing foreign player limits and improving team stability.
