I-League 2017: 5 players who will be vital for East Bengal this season

Abinash Ruidas

#4 Mohammed Rafique

Mohammed Rafique

A young forward, Rafique came to limelight with his winning goal in the finals of the inaugural Indian Super League. Since then, there has been no looking back for the 24-year old. With his slender built, he is adept at outpacing the side backs on the flanks. However, this season, he might be used as the lone striker to score the goals for his side.

Rafique possesses the necessary skills to outfox the defenders and has a keen eye for the goal. During the Calcutta Football League, he would often partner Mehtab Hossain in the central midfield role. His versatility makes him a favourable option for the coach for any team he plays. A youthful presence in the attacking front, Mohammed Rafique is an important cog in the East Bengal wheel.
