Mosta forward Obinna Obiefule is wanted by Hapoel Be'er Sheva, who pay the wages of Nigeria international Austin Ejide , several sources in Israel led by Sports Walla are reporting.

The 25 - year - old striker has scored 11 goals in 15 games this season, and this has not gone unnoticed by the scouting department of Hapoel Be'er Sheva.

Obinna Obiefule claims to have no knowledge of interest from Israel when he was contacted by allnigeriasoccer.com.

''I am under contract with Mosta until the end of the season. If Hapoel Be'er Sheva want me, they should discuss with my club. And if my club agrees, then I can start negotiating with them,'' Obiefule told allnigeriasoccer.com in a telephone conversation.

This is not the first time Obinna Obiefule is being linked with a move to Israel as he was courted by Maccabi Haifa in the last summer transfer market.
