Also, the defensive midfielder won the I-league with Mohun Bagan in 2015, the same year he made his senior debut for the Indian national team which he has five caps for since then.

Similarly, Bikash Jairu, who joins the team from Jamshedpur, is making a return to the clubside after initial stint in 2015 to 2017 while Cavin Lobo joined Minerva Punjab on loan from Atletico De Kolkota.

East Bengal have signed up nothing less than four players already as they continue to rebuild the team with Balwant Singh, Shankar Roy, novin gurung and Omid singh some of the players they have recruited.
