The Israeli national team wants to naturalize the Russian goalkeeper of the "Budö-Glimt" club, Nikita Khaykin.
Idman.biz informs about this with reference to "Walla".
According to the publication, the leadership of the Israeli national team is concerned about the lack of playing time and poor form of the team's goalkeepers. In the last match of the 2026 World Cup qualifying round, "blue-whites" goalkeeper Daniel Perets conceded 5 goals from the Italian national team. Therefore, team officials are interested in inviting Nikita Khaykin, whose candidacy was considered even before the start of the World Cup qualifying stage. It is also noted that the "Budö-Glimt" player wants to obtain Norwegian citizenship.
Khaykin played two matches for the Russian U-21 national team. He was also called up to the senior team, but did not play a single match.
This season, the goalkeeper played 26 games in all competitions, conceding 26 goals.
