I-League: Top five winter signings so far

CK Vineeth (Bengaluru FC)

The India international was highly consistent for United SC over 18 months and even finished as the highest scorer among Indians in the 2012-13 I-League with seven goals. The excellent club form earned Vineeth a call-up to the senior national team and he remains a part of Wim Koevermans’ plans but United SC were struggling to hold on to him due to their financial problems. Many clubs were after the 25-year-old but eventually Bengaluru FC secured his signature. The addition of Vineeth gives another dimension to Bengaluru’s attack and could prove to be decisive in the title race.
