He is going to decide only after the ISL.” Belfort’s teammate in Blasters, Mehtab Hossain who plays for East Bengal is linked to convincing the striker to play for the Kolkata side. There are quite a few names on East Bengal’s radar. Delhi Dynamos Richard Gadze, and Kerala Blasters Antonio German along with Atletico de Kolkata’s Iain Hume. But so far no one seems to have shown an interest in plying their trade with the Red and Gold jersey. “They do not seem to be interested in playing for us. We have approached everyone,” said Debabrata Sarkar. As far as Do Dong Hyun’s replacement is concerned, the club’s de-facto supremo pointed towards Coch Trevor Morgan.
