I-League 2013-14: Top 5 new foreign recruits

The year 2012 saw some foreigners like Edeh Chidi, James Moga and Odafa Okolie steal the show in the I-League. But, this year, almost everything being new from sponsors to the structure of the league, we will also see some foreigners in action, for whom, it will be the first season in Indian soil.

In this article, the top five players among these new recruits will be examined:

5. Arturo Navarro, Sporting Clube De Goa

Arturo Navarro

Arturo Navarro is a Spanish defender who would be seen in action this season with the #9 Sporting Goa Jersey. He may be just 24 years old, but he has already played in the prestigious Copa Del Rey.

Having spent many years in the Valencia CF youth team, he made his debut for the senior team in a Copa Del Rey match.

Then, after his quite successful stints in the Spanish clubs Ontinyent, Osasuna and Guijuelo, he was signed by Goa-based team Sporting Clube de Goa.

This young 6 feet man is known for his agility in the field and the way he stands like wall against the opponent’s strikers. We wish to see this currently in-form youngster perform really well in the 2013-14 I-League.
