Hapoel Tel Aviv Delays Douglas Owusu Signing Amid Extended Medical Tests
Douglas Owusu, the 20-year-old Ghanaian winger, has agreed to terms with Hapoel Tel Aviv, but the club is exercising extra caution due to his medical history. Unlike the usual procedure for new signings, Hapoel Tel Aviv has expanded the medical examinations to ensure thorough evaluation before finalizing the contract. Owusu underwent comprehensive tests yesterday, and the club expects to receive the results today, hoping for a positive outcome that will allow them to complete the signing.
This is the second time this summer that Owusu has agreed to join a new club. Previously, he was set to transfer to Viktoria Plzen for 3.3 million euros, but the deal fell through in May after a knee injury was discovered. Given this background, Hapoel Tel Aviv is taking extra precautions to avoid any surprises. The club's cautious approach has caused the delay in confirming the signing, which is now taking longer than usual.
The club and fans await the test results, which will determine whether Owusu can officially join the team and contribute in the upcoming season.
