Hapoel Be'er Sheva Completes Deepest, Most Expensive Squad in Club History
Hapoel Be'er Sheva has finalized its squad for the upcoming European competition, assembling what is described as one of the deepest and most expensive rosters in the club's history. The team aimed to strengthen every position, aiming for at least two senior players per role, with the exception of right-back where Guy Mizerahi is the sole natural option.
Key additions include goalkeeper Marko Wolf, joining Ofir Marciano. In defense, Idan Nachmias returns to Israel from Ludogorets to bolster the backline alongside Itai Rotman, Miguel Vítor, and Pedro Amador, who replaces Helder Lopes at left-back. The departure of a foreign player from defense allowed for the signing of a high-caliber foreign striker.
Adrian Grbic was acquired from Hapoel Kiryat Shmona for a reported €1 million, and Jonasilda was brought in from Maccabi Tel Aviv. The final signing before the deadline was Forson Amankwah from Norwich City, on loan with an option to buy for €2 million, intended to compete with last season's standout Kings Kangwa. Amankwah joins midfielders Niv Yehoshua and the injured Joao Victor.
Manager Ran Kochav faces the challenge of managing a large, high-quality squad. The club is expected to trim the roster in the coming week, with Roy Levi and Yoni Stoyanov reportedly among those likely to depart. Several players, including injured striker Igor Zlatanovic, Ofir Davidzada, Hamudi Kanaan, and Mohamed Abu Rumi, were not included in the squad for the upcoming match, highlighting the intense competition for places.
