Beitar certain of Tal order

Beitar Jerusalem are confident they will secure the services of Bolton midfielder Idan Tal.

The Barclays Premier League club have given them permission to talk to the Israel international.

“We do not have a date yet but I am certain Idan Tal will play for Beitar,” coach Itzhak Shum told Haaretz.

Tal, who had a spell with Everton, could find himself down the pecking order at Reebok Stadium next season following the arrival of Gavin McCann from Aston Villa.
