Israeli side Hapoel Tel Aviv to bid for Limbikani Mzava
Tel Aviv prepare offer for Mzava

Israeli side Hapoel Tel Aviv are expected to make an offer to Bloemfontein Celtic for the services of Limbikani Mzava.
Mzava went to the Middle East country for a 10-day trial, but Tel Aviv were blown away the first day and decided to sign the player after a single training session.
To show some form of intent, Tel Aviv got in touch with Celtic technical director Mich d’Avray on Wednesday to engage in preliminary talks for the player and are expected to make an offer this week of $150 000 [which is approximately R1 200 000].
Alternatively, Tel Aviv could rope in the player on a loan basis worth €10 000 [approximately R100 000] for the rest of this season.
According to a KickOff.com source, the stumbling block could be that Celtic are reluctant to sell the player outright.
“Celtic now don’t want to sell… They have changed their mind. If they sell Eric Mathoho down the line, they may need Mzava next season hence the reluctance so they may just be willing to do a loan move for now,” the source says.
Mzava’s agent Walter Mokoena says it is now up to the two clubs to agree terms for the player.
“I have done my bit and now it is time for a club-to-club agreement. Maybe we will have a deal,” Mokoena says.
