The Nes Ziona section continues to grow stronger as part of the struggle for survival in the Premier League.

Today (Thursday) the newcomer announced the signing until the end of the season of Christian Batucchio, former Maccabi Tel Aviv.

The Argentinian - Italian as mentioned agreed until the end of the season with an option to extend the contract if the team stays in the league.

Batucchio is remembered by Premier League fans from his time in the yellow uniform, which he wore between 2017 and 2019.

A few days ago he released his contract with the Greek Volos and thus made a comeback to the Premier League.

The 31-year-old midfielder is supposed to replace Abubakar Keita in the foreigner's squad, who requested to return to the Ivory Coast due to family problems that prevent him from playing in the near future.

The new acquisition of the Oranges said after the signing: "Thank you to the club and the management for the opportunity to return to the Israeli league. I am very happy and excited to be here. I am now in Israel and happy about it. I hope to help the team complete its goals together with the whole team."

Again in Israel.
