It happened above all expectations: Guy Melamed is gaining momentum in St. Johnstone’s media. The Israeli striker, who arrived after two years at Maccabi Netanya, did take time to adapt to the Scottish team’s uniform – but when he did, he felt much more comfortable and also returned with goals: five in total he has this season in the league, and three in the last five games he has participated in. , And especially from the direction of a group well known to Netflix viewers: Sunderland.
The local newspaper Sunderland Eco published an analysis of the Israeli striker today (Wednesday), which at least according to the report is being monitored by the local team. The article noted Melamed’s sharpness, and even quoted his manager at St. Johnston, Callum. Davidson who said: “I watched his videos play, and I thought his movement in the open was good. We were looking for either a goal striker, or one who would score goals very easily. We chose the second option. “Among other things, they used the tweet of the group in which they compared him with – no less and no more – Dennis Bergkamp.

Beyond that, they mentioned there that Sunderland, but also Portsmouth and Ipswich Town were interested in Melamed’s services – and that his contract expires this summer. The only hurdle, therefore, may be too high wage demands for the club. So will Melamed also be the successor to the formidable Josh Maja? In the picturesque town in front of the sea, apparently, one begins to fantasize.
