Hapoel Be'er Sheva Nears Deal for Striker Adrian Arellano
Hapoel Be'er Sheva is expected to finalize the signing of Peruvian striker Adrian Arellano from Kiryat Shmona today, Tuesday. Kiryat Shmona had set a price tag of one million euros for the forward, who scored 18 goals last season. Significant progress was made in negotiations following flexibility from Arellano's representatives.
Arellano is reportedly set to sign a three-year contract with Hapoel Be'er Sheva, earning 300,000 euros per season. Coach Kozuch plans to utilize Arellano and Igor Zlatanovic as the team's primary strikers for the upcoming season, during which the club will compete in multiple competitions. Javon East is expected to continue in his role as a winger.
The need for offensive reinforcement was highlighted during a recent match against Hapoel Ramat Gan, which saw both Zlatanovic (injured) and East (suspended) absent. While young player Amit Ohana scored in that game, the club recognized the necessity of acquiring an additional quality forward.
Hapoel Be'er Sheva also has a slot for an eighth foreign player, likely to be a midfielder, whom they aim to sign by Wednesday evening.
