Hapoel Be'er Sheva Nears Deal for Striker Adrian Artune
Israeli champions Hapoel Be'er Sheva are reportedly close to signing Peruvian striker Adrian Artune from Hapoel Ironi Kiryat Shmona. Significant progress was made in negotiations between the two clubs overnight, with an agreement expected within the next 48 hours.
Artune joined Kiryat Shmona a year and four months ago and became a key player, scoring 18 goals last season, making him one of the top scorers in the Israeli Premier League. He notably scored the winning goal against Hapoel Be'er Sheva in October. This season, he has played in the first two matches, scoring in a 2-1 loss to Maccabi Petah Tikva.
Kiryat Shmona management understands that the player is likely to leave the team. Artune's potential arrival would add depth to Hapoel Be'er Sheva's attacking options, which currently include main striker Igor Zlatanovic, Javon East who can play as a winger or striker, and Yonas Malda.
