Beitar Jerusalem Chasing Hapoel Raanana Star Anthony Nwakaeme

Israeli Premier League campaigners Beitar Jerusalem are planning to sign Anthony Nwakaeme in the January transfer window, which opens for business in the country on January 7.

One.co.il says coach Meni Koretski is an admirer of the speedy forward, and he would be seeking to reunite with the Nigerian, having tutored him for a portion of last season.

The website has also reported that Anthony Nwakaeme is open to the idea of turning out for Beitar Jerusalem, as long as the capital outfit can agree terms with Hapoel Ra’anana.

In the summer transfer market, the 25 - year - old had been courted by Hapoel Beer Sheva and Maccabi Haifa but a transfer did not materialize.

Nwakaeme is under contract with Hapoel Ra’anana until the end of next season.
