Market

Aziz Ouattara agrees terms with Hapoel Raanana

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Maccabi Netanya people have started saying his name in the past tense.

The dugout

Maleace Asamoah says Maccabi Netanya went back on their word

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Itay Shechter has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

In brief
