What happens when a teenage forward outshines seasoned pros in a title-winning side? For Hapoel Be'er-Sheva, the answer is Oz Cohen. The 18-year-old Israeli hit seven goals and laid on seven more in 22 league games, earning a 7.38 rating – numbers that scream 'remember the name'. Fresh off a 13th straight Israeli Premier League crown, Be'er-Sheva are a dynasty, and Cohen is their electric spark. His rise comes as fellow attacker Amir Cohen heads to Vitesse on loan, leaving room for the youngster to shine. Could a big move be next? For now, Be'er-Sheva fans are just enjoying the ride.
