“I am extremely excited and grateful to be a part of this amazing sea of blue. Bringing all my humility and respect for the management, coaches and fans. Looking forward to bringing with me, my endless passion for the beautiful game and my spirit to win with and for my team,” Nassiri said.
Owen Coyle has already added the likes of Daniel Chima Chukwu, Jordan Wilmar and Gurkirat Singh to the forward line for the coming season. And with Nassiri also joining the club, it’ll be interesting to see which players make up his starting line-up.
With several established attackers already in place at Mohun Bagan, most of Kiyan Nassiri’s appearances were off the bench. And now, he will be hopeful of turning things around to become a regular in a brand new project.
