The Camels brass has opened talks with the glovesman on prolonging his stay at the club for three more years, with the current agreement between the parties set to expire in just over three months time.

Ejide wants his salary to be upgraded to cushion the effect of his tax liability increasing as from next season.

It is thought that the goalie has an offer from Premier League champions Maccabi Tel Aviv, which has contributed to his decision not to extend his Beer Sheva contract.

The 30 – year – old has played in Israel for the past six years.
