The Brazilian midfielder will strengthen the center of the pitch: “I’m excited to join. We’ll work hard to become a united group that gives its all for the club and its fans”
Lucas Falcao has signed a three-season contract with the club after landing in Israel, completing his medical examinations – and will fly today (Tuesday) with the team to the training camp in Poland. Falcao will wear jersey number 98.
The 27-year-old Falcao was acquired from Athletico Paranaense of Brazil’s second division, which he joined last January – making 23 appearances in all competitions. Prior to that, he spent two years at CRB, also in Brazil’s second division, where he played 113 matches in all competitions.
Following the signing, Falcao said: “I’m excited to join Hapoel Tel Aviv, a big club with a rich history and amazing fans – who I’ve heard a lot about. Today we head to training camp, and I’m already looking forward to meeting my new teammates. We’ll bond and work hard to become a team that is ready for the challenges ahead, as a united group that gives everything for the club and its fans. Yalla Hapoel!”
Good luck, Falcao!
