Kerala Blasters continued their spending spree as they roped in Senegalese central midfielder Moustapha Gning to further shore up their already rich midfield. The African would be Kerala’s fifth foreign signing this transfer window as the ISL side is going through a complete revamp.

The Jamshedpur-based franchise has been reportedly tracking Spanish midfielder Aitor Monroy and would reportedly seal his service in the coming days to properly replace Sergio Cidoncha. Monroy, if signed, would become the fifth Spaniard in the squad of JFC under Cesar Ferrando’s management.

Sunil Chhetri has been of the opinion that passing the ball from the back in making a buildup would be the ideal way to play for the team as it is also followed in the league as well. The skipper also heaped praise on the coach for his brave approach and availability for each and every player.

After coach Igor Stimac, team skipper Sunil Chhetri has also reiterated the need for Indian players to play at least 50 games a season to stay at a good performing level consistently. He also suggested clubs to play one another with their benched and reserve players to get more game time for all.
