Indian Goalkeeper Arindam Bhattacharya has created a storm after he decided to move from Atk Mohun Bagan to Sc East Bengal in a one year deal. This decision came as a shocker to all the Indian football fans because he chose to move to Atk’s arch-rivals East Bengal. In addition to that, fans couldn’t comprehend why Bhattacharya moved to a different club after his terrific form last year in the ISL.
The former Mohun Bagan player had a glorious last season after receiving the golden glove for keeping 10 clean sheets. Moreover, he saved 59 shots and was one of the biggest factors to help Atk Mohun Bagan reach the finals of ISL 2021-22. After a fruitful last season, the star goalkeeper will try to replicate his form in the Red and Golden colours.
Arindam’s addition to the squad will most definitely bring a lot of experience as the 31 year old has played for eight clubs and country. Moreover he has made 140 appearances in ISL. As a result, he can share a ton of wisdom to his young teammates in the squad.
