Sujit Singh is all set to sign for Mohammedan SC. A source close to the development confirmed that he has completed his transfer to Mohammedan SC but East Bengal still haven't provided him with the NOC. East Bengal are trying to get Sujit back.
Sujit was a member of the East Bengal youth squad. He is under contract with the club as an amateur.
Before the commencement of the Santosh Trophy, Bengal coach Ranjan Bhattacharya scouted Sujit and brought him into the squad.
The 18-year-old had a superb run in the premier domestic competition and played a crucial role in helping the team reach the final.
In a practice game versus ATKMB, the midfielder performed admirably. He scored a goal to assist his team in defeating the ISL heavyweights.
Sujit was also part of the India U-20 SAFF Championship squad that won the title. India beat Bangladesh 5-2 in the final earlier this month.
Mohammedan SC move into next stage of Durand Cup
The Durand Cup is an ideal experiment to pit I-League clubs against their ISL counterparts. Mohammedan SC have won all three of their games so far.
They won 3-1 against FC Goa, 3-0 against Jamshedpur FC, and 2-0 against Indian Air Force. Their excellent form in the Durand Cup is the result of the work done by Mohammedan officials.
They will face Bengaluru FC in their next match. It would be an ideal match to test their skills against a full ISL squad. While Mohammedan rely on young players, Bengaluru FC depend on experienced campaigners like Sunil Chhetri.
Mohammedan SC head coach Andrey Chernyshov is very confident regarding his team's success in the match. They have Ousmane and Shaher Shaheen who can change the direction of the match at any time.
They also have experienced players like Samad Mallick who can help the team reach its maximum potential. Currently, Mohammedan is one of the favorites to win the Durand Cup.
