Levante snag Israeli talent Tay Abed in winter window swoop

Levante have moved swiftly in the January transfer market, securing their third winter signing as promising Israeli attacker Tay Abed joins from PSV Eindhoven in a historic move for the Valencia-based club.

Deal Details

The young forward has put pen to paper on a long-term contract that runs until June 2029, with Levante paying a modest fee to the Dutch giants for his services. The 55-shirted talent has already visited the club’s training facilities in Buñol, meeting his new teammates and getting stuck into training under manager Luís Castro’s watchful eye.

Abed could make his debut as soon as this Friday when Levante host Elche at the Ciutat de Valencia stadium – talk about hitting the ground running!

Breaking New Ground

This transfer marks a significant milestone for the club from the Orriols district, as Abed becomes the first Israeli player ever to wear the famous granota (frog) shirt in Levante’s history.

While technically registered with the reserve team until the end of the current campaign, the Tel Aviv-born talent will immediately be available for first-team action.

Impressive Credentials

The left-winger arrives with some proper impressive numbers under his belt:

• 20 appearances in the Dutch second tier (Keuken Kampioen Divisie) this season
• 7 goals and 4 assists for PSV’s reserve side
• First-team debut for PSV in a cup match against GVVV Veenendaal, playing 69 minutes
• International experience with Israel’s youth teams
• Part of the Israel squad that finished third at last summer’s U-20 World Cup

For Levante supporters, this signing represents a diamond in the rough – a young player with proven goal contributions and international pedigree who could provide that bit of magic they’ve been crying out for. If he can translate that Dutch form to Spanish soil, they’ve got themselves a right Bobby Dazzler here.
