After a perfect return season to the Premier League, capped by reaching the top playoff, Hapoel Petah Tikva is already thinking about next season and has begun building the squad. After already announcing the addition of several players, Sports Channel has learned that the team from Em Hamoshavot has identified Roi Sasson of Beitar Jerusalem.

Following the departure of Shahar Amsalem to Hapoel Rishon LeZion, Omer Peretz wants a senior goalkeeper who will compete with Omer Katz for the first-choice spot. At this stage, it appears that Petah Tikva has chosen the young goalkeeper from the capital club. The Blues will enter talks with the Jerusalem side to understand whether Beitar agrees to a loan only or is willing to sell him for a certain fee.

After adding Avishai Cohen on the right flank and Yizan Nassar on the left, the club continues its trend of strengthening the back line and has now moved to the goalkeeper position, with the aim that he and Omer Katz will push each other.

Sasson was loaned this season to Hapoel Kfar Shalem, where he made 35 appearances, conceded 59 goals and kept six clean sheets. Before that, he was loaned to Bnei Yehuda, where he played 29 times, conceded 34 goals and kept eight clean sheets. At Beitar, he has five matches in which he conceded four goals. Premier League
