Ben Sahar is no stranger to English football, having spent the early part of his career playing up and down the Football League.

The 27-year-old was on the books at Chelsea from 2006, and appeared three times for the club until the summer of 2009 before moving to Spanish side Espanyol.

During his stint at Stamford Bridge, the Israeli international enjoyed loan spells at QPR, Sheffield Wednesday, and Portsmouth, but only found the net during his time at Hillsborough.

Sahar has since played for several clubs, and moved to Hapoel last year, netting nine times in 25 league games for the club, and also once in this season’s Europa League campaign in their thrilling 3-2 win over Inter Milan last month.

The forward has yet to start in the competition this season, but has proven to be quite a handful when he comes off the bench.
