Internet Desk: Atletico de Kolkata's superstar Canadian forward Iain Hume and star South African winger Sameehg Doutie, who have been instrumental in the ineffable success of the Kolkata outfit, might not be there with the defending champions in the ISL Season 4. Specially Hume, who was an integral part of the Kerala Blasters franchise in the first ISL, might just return to his former franchise alongside Sameehg Doutie, sources revealed to www.xtratime.in. Hume has been a serious threat to all the teams, ever since he came into the picture in the Indian Super League. His hardworking display has troubled all the oppositions so far. He is also the highest goalscorer in the history of the competition. In the last couple of seasons, when ATK suffered a lot on their attacking front due to injury issues, Hume remained to be a consistent performer to sail the boat. If he leaves ATK, it will surely be a huge blow for the side. Sameehg Doutie too has been a constant threat from both the flanks in the last couple of seasons and provided game-changing assists and goals to help his side forming into a lethal attacking force. It is learned that both the foreigners have been approached by the Kerala Blasters and gave lucrative proposals to them. They are now in advanced talks as well. It is to see how Atletico de Kolkata reacts to the situation to control the possible damage. Despite the quality foreigners they have, the absence of the two attacking spearheads might be a fatal blow to the defending champions
