I-League 2018-19: How have the foreign veterans fared so far?

#5 Ansumanah Kromah (Aizawl FC)

Ansumanah Kromah

The Liberian footballer is another product of lower division football in Kolkata. He signed for Peerless in 2016, before being signed by Mohun Bagan. After a disastrous campaign with the green and maroon club, he was released and signed by East Bengal. There too, he failed to impress.

Kromah returned to Peerless and made his mark by scoring 11 goals in Calcutta Football League. He scored against both his former clubs East Bengal and Mohun Bagan.

Kromah signed for Aizawl for I-League. The club is currently languishing at 10th position and Kromah hasn’t impressed so far.

#5 Henry Kisekka (Mohun Bagan)

Henry Kisekka

The Ugandan striker spent many years playing football in Vietnam, plying his trade for more than five clubs, before being signed by Gokulam Kerala FC last season. The Malabarians created uproar last season by defeating big clubs, including East Bengal and Mohun Bagan. Kisekka played an influential part by scoring in the big matches regularly.

Kisekka signed for Mohun Bagan this season but failed to impress so far. He scored in the first match against his former side but wasn’t impressive in his role thereafter. He registered his second goal this season against Shillong Lajong on Sunday.

#4 Dipanda Dicka (Mohun Bagan)

Aser

Dipanda Dicka

No matter what tournament he plays, Dipanda Dicka will always be the highest scorer. He caught the eye while playing for Shillong Lajong two years ago and was signed by Mohun Bagan following year. He played for Mohammedan in the CFL and Mohun Bagan in I-League last season. In both tournaments, he became the top scorer.

He was retained by the green and maroon this season and so far scored four goals, including one against East Bengal. But more than his goals, he was criticised for missing handful of chances. If Dicka keeps on scoring, he will have a chance to overtake other who are ahead of him.
