Wigan winger Daniel de Ridder has admitted he is keen to join Israeli side Hapoel Tel Aviv.
De Ridder is desperate for regular first-team football and Hapoel is still involved in the Europa League.
The former Birmingham winger has Israeli root and is fluent in Hebrew.
“At the beginning I was very positive about the offensive intent of our new coach Roberto Martinez,” he told Sportweek.
“My chance has not come. If I want to play this season a move looks to be the right solution.
“That aspect is playing a role in choosing the Israeli league. Yes, I can speak Hebrew but more important is that Hapoel Tel Aviv is the current runner-up to Maccabi Haifa and still plays in the Europa League.
“They qualified from a group with big teams likes HSV, Celtic and Rapid Vienna in first place.
“Now they play in the next round against Rubin Kazan. ”
