Hapoel Tel Aviv Seeks to Strengthen Left Wing and Left Back Positions After Conference League Win

Following a convincing victory over Katowice in the Conference League qualifiers, Hapoel Tel Aviv remains eager to bolster its squad. Head coach Aliniv Breda and his staff are targeting two additional signings but are determined not to rush or settle prematurely. The club recently welcomed new winger Douglas Awusu, who trained with the team for the first time the day after the match. Club insiders expressed high hopes for Awusu, suggesting he has the potential to become the league's best player if he adapts well.

Despite the successful signing of Awusu, Hapoel Tel Aviv's transfer window remains open as the team seeks reinforcements specifically for the left wing and left back positions. The club considers players like Chico, who has experience as a left back, and Marcos Coco, who occasionally plays there alongside Doron Leidner, as internal options. However, there is a preference to find a natural Israeli left back. For the left wing role, the club is also exploring foreign player options.

The coaching staff plans to observe Awusu's integration over the next two to three weeks to assess how he meshes with the squad and to identify any remaining gaps or specific qualities needed. This measured approach reflects the club's ambition to build a stronger, more competitive team for the upcoming season.
