ISL Transfer News: Odisha FC closing in to sign Goan defender

XtraTime Web Desk: ISL teams are slowly gearing up in the transfer market, as Odisha FC are set to sign George D’Souza from Goa Pro League club Sporting Clube de Goa for the upcoming season, Sportskeeda has learnt. The 25-year-old played as a left-back for the former I-League side and scored four goals in their campaign.

George D’Souza is known for his defensive strength, free-kick taking abilities and for coming up with timely assists. Sporting Clube de Goa led the points table with 44 points from 20 games when the Goa Pro League got suspended midway due to the COVID-19 outbreak in India.

A host of ISL clubs were interested in D’Souza’s signature, including FC Goa. But the Gaurs settled for Salgaocar’s Sanson Pereira in the end.
