Indian Super League | ATK sign Brazilian striker Éverton Santos
ATK have brought Brazilian striker Éverton Santos on board for the 2018-19 season of the Indian Super League. Santos started his career playing in the youth groups of São José EC and used to play for French Ligue 1 side Paris Saint-Germain and his inclusion may prove to be a huge boost for ATK.
In 2011, the 31-year old moved to the South Korean K League Classic side Seongnam Ilhwa Chunma and has since then played for clubs like FC Seoul and Ulsan Hyundai.
In 2017, Santos signed up with ISL franchise Mumbai City and was currently playing for Brazilian club Botafogo SP. The striker was the top scorer for Mumbai City last season with eight goals across both ISL and the Super Cup. He will be seen in ATK jersey for the fifth edition of the ISL.
He becomes the final foreign player to be signed for ATK this season. Santos is also the second Brazilian to be signed by the club after Gérson Vieira, who incidentally also played for Mumbai City FC.
“We have built a strong attacking team and Santos further strengthens our attack. He is not only a valuable
Steve Coppell, Head Coach, ATK, said, “I enjoy playing in the ISL and this is all the more special because I am joining a team that has been crowned champions twice. I hope to contribute significantly and bring the Cup home.”
