Mohun Bagan Super Giant have confirmed the arrival of Australian World Cupper Jason Cummings. The forward has penned a three-year deal with the Kolkata giant.

In his last A-League game, his side Central Coast Mariners lifted the title and the forward netted a hat-trick to help his side achieve the feat.

Jason Cummings on joining Mohun Bagan

"The ISL is now an important league to the players of A-League. I have been following Indian football for the past few years. When I was offered by Mohun Bagan, I started my research on them. In the process, I learnt about the legacy of the club. Moreover, Mohun Bagan won the ISL last season. I am hopeful of adding a few more trophies to the cabinet in the next three years."

Speaking with Juan Ferrando

"When I spoke to our coach Juan Ferrando and the management, I understood that they don't want to stop their trophy hunt after bagging the ISL last term. The club's target is to achieve continental success, in the AFC Cup. The management and I have a similar mentality. I want Mohun Bagan to be aggressive while approaching any competition we participate in and win it in the process. That's our bull's eye if I may put it like that."

Thanksgiving to the fans

"Yes, I am aware of the happiness the Mohun Bagan fans have felt, when they heard about my signing. In my inbox, there were numerous messages from the loyals. It has been mesmerising! I thank everyone and I promise I'll give my best to make you all happy."

Juan Ferrando lauds Jason Cummings

"We all are aware about Jason's class. He can play a very attacking game and excels in pressing. He fits perfectly into my philosophy. He is good with the ball and can create spaces, a goal-mouth danger for certain as he is clinical but the best part is he is excellent in 1v1 situations! He is a team man."

"Just after plying trade in the FIFA World Cup, Cummings has agreed to come to India - that's certainly something huge. This proves how much the ISL has helped Indian football to grow."
