Kolkata : French International Bernard Mendy arrived in Kolkata to play for East Bengal on Saturday morning . Although he will be not available today for the Bengaluru match ,  he will be at the Barasat  Stadium to cheer for his team mates .

The French man will sign next week in favour of the Red and Gold and will likely to make his debut aginst Aizawl FC on 5th February. Mendy was supposed to arrive much earlier but his arrival got delayed due to a visa problem.

He looked very tired and he didn’t talk to the media at the airport. Mendy will be staying in a hotel at Rajarhat . The Chennaiyin FC star will be officially presented by the club on Monday. Much to the surprise of Red and Gold fans assembled at the airport  , Mendy wished them by  announcing “NAMASTE” before being carried out by East Bengal officials.

East Bengal are scheduled to play Bengaluru FC today in a very important clash at the Barasat Stadium.

Mendy has already proved his mettle in the Chennayin Jersey in the ISL . However ISl and I-league is a completely different ball game. Whether Mendy can bring smiles for East Bengal fans , time will say .
