Kolkata : Mohun Bagan’s Haitian International Sony Norde has confirmed his participation in I League for Mohun Bagan . Norde put an end to all the speculation surrounding him about his arrival in India . In a recent post on his facebook wall , Norde announced he will soon come to Kolkata .
Sony Norde, who played a key role in helping Mohun Bagan emerge as the I League champions , has dismissed reports that he may have second thoughts about joining the Green and Maroon .
Norde had confirmed his commitment to Mohun Bagan immediately after the culmination of Indian Super League (ISL) . He was supposed to re-join the Green and Maroon training session on December 27 after returning back from home .
However, he had to delay his arrival to India as he was picked in the national squad to play in the Copa America Qualifier . Norde did not feature though in Haiti’s 1-0 win over Trinidad on January 09 .
But what led to the speculation immediately after was Norde’s Facebook post that read “It’s good to play in Mexico again” . The post had Bagan officials worried about the contractual commitment of Norde , especially since Haiti were not playing in Mexico but in the Republic of Panama .
This led to the speculation that Norde was in talks with a club in Mexico .
However, he did not keep the Bagan supporters anxiously waiting for too long , with another Facebook post – this time though wearing a Mohun Bagan jersey and his number with a caption that read, “Kolkata, I’m coming.”
It does come as a huge relief for Mohun Bagan supporters .
