Kolkata: Current I league champions Aizawl FC loses three of its main stars as Kolkata giants East Bengal ropes in Lalramchullova and Brendan from the north-east side. The Red and Gold brigade had however previously bought Syrian midfielder and one of the most key players of the Aizawl squad Mahmood Al Amna.

East Bengal bought three important players today like Lalram Chullova, Brandon Vanlalremoika and Richard Costa.

Lalram Chullova

Nicknamed as ‘’Chullova’’ by his fellow team-mates, the north east player played as a Centre Back for Aizawl FC. But in this current season, Coach Khaleed Jamil played him as a Left back owing to his short height which is unlike for a defender. However in his new position, Chullova faired extremely well and is one of the main reasons for Aizawl FC’s success in the league. He is an extremely skillful and a nimble footed player and has brilliant positioning sense.

Brandon Vanlalremdika

He is by far one of the best young left winger that the country currently has at this moment. Brandon was instrumental in Aizawl FC’s success in this year’s I-League and it can be said that this has been a brilliant buy for East Bengal. He played for Aizawal FC throught the whole season and has all the ingredients to become a top quality player. This left-footed winger can tear down the defence of oppositions through his lightning pace and his ability of close control with the ball.

Richard Costa

Richard Costa played for Churchill Brothers in the last season. Primarily he is an attacking midfielder but can also play as a striker id given an opportunity. He is one of those types of players which are generally of a dying breed nowadays. This right-footed player can easily shoot long ranger shots towards the opponent’s goal with sheer brutal power. Both against Mohun Bagan and East Bengal his two shots rattled against the post when he took them from a distance of 25-30 yards. He is an extremely critical player who is strongly built and thus as a result could become a bit physical in a particular game.
