Hapoel Haifa Considers William Agada Signing Amid Salary Negotiations

Hapoel Haifa is actively seeking to strengthen its squad ahead of the upcoming season, with former Hapoel Jerusalem striker William Agada among the candidates for the forward position. Agada, currently a free agent, is personally valued by club owner Yoav Katz due to his previous stint at Hapoel Jerusalem during the 2020/21 season. The club appreciates Agada's professional qualities, noting his 14 goals over two seasons in the Israeli Premier League and his recent experience in Spain's second division.
