Maccabi Haifa Sets Fitness Condition for Signing New Foreign Right Winger

Maccabi Haifa is actively seeking to sign a foreign right winger following the injury of Manuel Benson. The club has received numerous candidate proposals but has established a key condition: the player must currently be in competitive form, actively playing with a team. This requirement aims to ensure the new signing can quickly integrate and contribute, as the league has already started and a player out of practice would need time to regain fitness.

The club has been offered players who have not been part of any team since the end of last season, but Haifa prefers candidates who are match-fit to immediately compete for a starting position. So far, the club is dissatisfied with the performance of its current wingers; Tsunami's offensive contribution is low, and Kenji Hura's form is also underwhelming. There is a clear expectation for improvement on the right wing.

In related team news, goalkeeper Omer Nir'on, who joined on loan from Maccabi Netanya, is intensifying his training and is expected to be included in the squad soon. Glen Alwin will return to his role as the third-choice goalkeeper.
