Andres Tunez
Beitar Jerusalem have completed their squad for the 2013/2014 season by signing Venezuelan center-back, Andres Tunez, on a 1 year loan deal.  The 26-year-old, who is currently in the books of Celta Vigo from the Spanish La Liga, landed last night in Ben Gurion Airport and was taken straight to Jerusalem where this morning he completed the deal.
As a youngster Tunez rose up through the Celta youth system and in Febuary 2010 the club offered him his first senior contract. In the following two and a half seasons Tunez appeared 59 times for Celta and was also called up to the Venezuelan national team 9 times. Throughout last season Tunez was left out of the clubs squad and in August new manager Luiz Enrique decided to leave the defender out of his plans for the upcoming season.
Tunez is expected to start for Beitar already this weekend, when they face Hapoel Haifa on Saturday (at 20:15). The arrival of the Venezuelan has lit up the capital and reports suggest that in the last 24 hours Beitar season ticket sales rocketed.
Lior Levi (hapoel t.a)
Beitar also confirmed the signing of 21-year-old Israeli forward Roey Zikri on a 4 year contract. Zikri played last season for Hapoel Petach Tikva in the 2nd division where he scored 6 goals.

Meanwhile Hapoel Tel Aviv have completed the signing of right-back Lior Levi who is to play for them for the next 3 seasons. The 25-year-old Israeli was part of the Hapoel Ironi Kiryat Shmona squad that topped the Israeli Premier League in the 2011/2012 season. Levi is fit to start in Hapoel's game this weekend against Maccabi Petach Tikva (Sunday at 20:00).
