Maccabi Haifa May Sign Another Foreign Player in Last-Minute Deal
Maccabi Haifa is reportedly exploring the possibility of signing an additional foreign player in a last-minute transfer window move, as domestic options are limited. The club is considering strengthening its defense or defensive midfield.
If a new foreign player arrives, it could be at the expense of Brazilian defender Pedrão, who has returned from injury but has not impressed. Alternatively, a new midfielder or defender could be brought in to play alongside Nigel Awuni, who has been satisfactory. Kenny Saïf is expected to cover the left-back position until Pierre Cornud, who is in the final stages of rehabilitation, returns.
In other team news, right-back Ilay Batay, who was substituted in the match against Hapoel Petah Tikva due to a head injury, has returned to training and will be available for the upcoming game against Ironi Kiryat Shmona. Manager Barak Bakhar will have him at his disposal.
