Could another ex-Manchester United man be at Kerala Blasters this season?

The fourth edition of Indian Super League will witness the battle of India’s 10 most professional football clubs. With two more teams added to the roster, the ISL promises an exceptional experience for the fans this coming season.

In the process, the league will also enjoy an extended schedule of five months and the teams have been forced to bring the best into their armory to get ready to brawl.

All teams were in the hunt to sign the best players they could afford, and Kerala Blasters have been no exception. The Kochi-based outfit were also on the lookout to recruit the fine talents with extreme potential and huge experience.

The team under the helm of Sir Alex Ferguson’s former assistant Rene Meulensteen have done an admirable job in Indian market by adding young talents to their crew along with a few of the experienced Indian men in the domestic draft.

After their significant outlay in the foreign market so far, their team is now blessed with former Manchester United players like Paul Rachubka, Dimitar Berbatov and Wes Brown. Not only has Meulensteen brought the team experience but also potential with the inclusion of players like Mark Sifneos, Courage Pekuson and Nemanja Lakic Pesic.

The club have already set their team up for the 2017-18 ISL but still, require a player who can dominate play in the heart of the midfield. If news from reports and sources is to be believed, they’re on the verge of a finding a player who could.

Let’s take a look at four foreign players who could provide them what they desire.

#4 – Didier Boris Kadio

The Ivorian defensive midfielder who made his mark in ISL with Kerala Blasters can be the one who could the dominate the game in middle of the pitch for the 'Yellow Army'

The 27-year-old played an instrumental role for Kerala Blasters last season under now Jamshedpur FC head coach Steve Coppell. Kadio performed with great maturity both in defense and midfield.

The versatile holding midfielder also pocketed a super back-heel goal for the Blasters in ISL-3. The ‘General’, who made a fine impact on Kerala Blasters, would be a great asset if he comes back.
