East Bengal FC is reportedly in the final stages of negotiations with Indian footballer Nikhil Poojary, a key player from Hyderabad FC, though no official agreement has been confirmed as of yet. The details surrounding the contract and potential transfer fee remain undisclosed at this stage.
Sources suggest that the deal is likely to be sealed post the AFC Asian Cup, where Poojary is currently representing the Indian national team. This strategic move indicates a mutual understanding between the player and the club to prioritize existing commitments before finalizing the transfer.
Poojary, known for his consistent performance with Hyderabad FC this ISL season, has showcased his versatility by excelling in both right-back and right midfield positions. His robust defensive skills and seasoned experience make him a valuable asset for East Bengal FC.
The potential acquisition of Poojary could significantly strengthen East Bengal FC’s defense and provide much-needed depth to their squad. The Kolkata-based giants, currently looking to enhance their standing in the ISL, may view this move as a statement of intent to fortify their position in the league.
As the deal hangs in the balance, fans eagerly anticipate the official announcement, hoping Poojary’s addition will bring a positive impact to East Bengal FC’s performance in the ongoing ISL season.
