I-League: Top five winter signings so far

The winter transfer window in Europe shut down yesterday but the Indian version, which started from January 15, remains open till February 15. Thus there is still plenty of time for some more deals to go through but here are the top five signings so far.

Note: Only the signings that were completed in the winter window (on or after January 15) are being considered. The list is not in any particular order.

The Australian turned out to be a big flop at both Mohun Bagan and Mohammedan Sporting after a successful two-year spell at East Bengal. He was in talks with United SC after being released by Mohammedan but eventually signed for Dempo largely due to the presence of compatriot Arthur Papas. Tolgay is still far from full fitness but looked revitalised under Papas during the Federation Cup as he scored three goals in two games. The 27-year-old forward could solve Dempo’s goal-scoring problems as the Goan club have managed only 13 in 15 I-League matches so far.
