Hapoel Ramat Gan May Add New Signings for Maccabi Netanya Clash

Hapoel Ramat Gan is set to host Maccabi Netanya this evening at 19:30, aiming for their first points of the season. The newly promoted club has announced the signing of midfielder Goni Naor, who joins on a free transfer from Maccabi Haifa. Naor has already participated in two training sessions and, despite limited playing time at his previous club, is considered match-fit and available for coach Msay Dego.

Ramat Gan is working to finalize Naor's registration with the budget control authority before the match deadline, hoping he can be included in the squad. Another potential new addition to the squad is goalkeeper Arik Yenko, who was released by Maccabi Yafo earlier this season. Yenko joined the club last week to serve as backup for young goalkeeper Amit Reif, and his inclusion depends on completing his registration.

Coach Dego will likely make changes to the lineup that lost to Hapoel Tel Aviv, with striker Maxim Fushchenko out due to injury. Christopher Boniface and Marius Noubissi are contenders for starting spots. Ramat Gan impressed in the Toto Cup but has struggled in league play, currently without points after three rounds. The team believes improved performance can lead to a fresh start.

Additionally, Hapoel Ramat Gan is expected to sign Maccabi Tel Aviv striker Yonatan Nikolau before the transfer window closes on Wednesday. The Moldovan forward is anticipated to return to play in November. A projected starting lineup includes Amit Reif, Noam Schwartz, Marcio Silva, Jota, Fard Ibrahim, Serjan Mihajlovic, Christopher Boniface, Ido Uli (Moshe Semel), Matan Hozez (Marius Noubissi), David Asenka, and Luan Campos.
