Colombian midfielder Jonathan Agudlo landed in Israel last night on his way to signing with Hapoel B'Shlosha. On Sunday, the Reds' new acquisition will undergo medical tests and after that the contract will be signed.

His 27-year-old thumb will play for the first time outside his homeland, where he has played in the last seven years for four teams: Mizonros FC, Santa Fe, Jaguars Cordoba and Cucuta Deportivo, where he has played in the last two years and scored 22 goals in 42 games.

Beyond that, in the capital of the Negev, they understand after last night's loss to Maccabi Tel Aviv (0: 2) that there is still quite a bit of work to be done with the existing staff. "We may have suffered a bit from the quality, but there are ways to improve the team," the club said, adding: "Along with his thumb and maybe another player or two, there will be a good team here. Championship? There is nothing to talk about at the moment. This is not a normal season. There have been quite a few cuts and changes "
