The newly appointed Kerala Blasters coach is also excited by the potential of Sahal Abdul Samad...
Building a strong squad depth at Kerala Blasters is a high priority for new coach Eelco Schattorie following the difficulties he faced at NorthEast United in the latter stages of the 2018-19 Indian Super League (ISL) season.
The Dutchman guided the Highlanders to their maiden ISL play-off qualification but his team struggled at the business end of the tournament due to a spate of injuries and suspensions.
The 47-year-old is keen to ensure that the mistakes at NorthEast are not repeated at Kerala.
