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. However, Agada's salary demands currently exceed what Hapoel Haifa is willing to offer, leaving the final decision "in the hands of Yoav Katz," according to club sources.
While Agada remains a strong candidate, Hapoel Haifa is also exploring other foreign striker options to complement existing players Alon Turgeman and Itay Zeffreni. Additionally, winger Jayden Braaf has begun trials with the team, participating in individual training sessions. Head coach Haim Silvas and his staff plan to give Braaf playing time in an upcoming match against Ironi Kiryat Shmona.
