Hapoel Petah Tikva's Chipo Songa Draws Championship Interest in England
Hapoel Petah Tikva's 21-year-old midfielder Chipo Songa is attracting attention from several English Championship clubs, according to Football Insider reporter Peter O'Rourke. Following a strong season with Petah Tikva in the Israeli Premier League, where Songa made 25 appearances, scored seven goals, and provided three assists, he is reportedly valued at around one million euros. Songa, who joined Hapoel Petah Tikva from Zambia for a modest fee after several loan spells in Israel, is considered one of the club's key players as they prepare for the 2026/27 season. The potential transfer highlights the growing recognition of Israeli league talent abroad, especially in competitive European second-tier leagues like the English Championship.
