#5 Kalu Uche, FC Pune City
The former Nigerian international was a good attacking option and goalscorer in La Liga for clubs like Almeria, Espanyol and Levante. The 32-year-old had earlier played at the 2010 World Cup for the Super Eagles. He comes on the back of playing in a strong European league and was good for Levante last season as they fought off relegation.
Having scored 5 goals in 16 matches for Levante, he has shown that he still has the ability to excel at this level. He showed the same quality when FC Pune City played a practice match against East Bengal at the Balewadi Stadium few days ago as he finished with a brace.
Uche is known for his strong play, as he uses his physical strength, speed and skill on the ball very well. His ability to hold off strong defenders and get past them with ease is something which he is now known very well for.
Currently 32, he still has some quality football left in him and if things get going for him, he might just prove to be one of the better strikers in the league.
