A sigh of relief was released last night (Monday) at Ashdod CBS. After a delay of almost two months due to cancellations of flights and bureaucratic matters, Mogis Zakaria finally landed in Israel. As you may recall, the 19-year-old scam signed on loan at the club for one season, until January 2022, with a purchase option for another season. At the same time, the team began to sit down with players on new contracts.
As you may recall, Zakaria was destined to replace Sagiv Yehezkel, who left Hapoel Beer Sheva in the last transfer window. Now, the player will have to go through a five-day isolation period, at the end of which (and after two negative corona tests) he will join the team training. It should be noted that the striker has already been in Corona during the past month, so Ashdod is not worried about revaluation tests in the country.
The young offender grew up in the FC DREAMS team in his country, with which Ashdod has a close relationship and from him also came Leonard Owso who was sold to MLS, Samuel Alabi who was sold to Lucerne and Montari Kamhani who still plays in the team. The club will hope that Zakaria will integrate quickly and be fit to open the top playoffs.
On another issue, the number of injured by Ran Ben Shimon is declining. Tom Ben Zaken, Musa Bagayoko, Ramzi Spori, Shlomi Azulai and Roi Gordana have recovered from their injuries, and great efforts are being made to train Timothy Avani in time as well. At the same time, the club’s management will take advantage of the national team break in order to sit down with players on contracts for next season, when meetings have already been scheduled with Azoulay and Gordana.
