ATK Mohun Bagan sign former Churchill Brothers midfielder Glan Martins

The 26-year old had a very good season in the I-League for the Red Machines in 2019-20.

ATK Mohun Bagan are already stacking up for their Indian Super League (ISL) title defence for next season and have snapped up Glan Martins from Churchill Brothers.

According to The Times of India, Martins has opted to join the Kolkata-giants on a two-year deal. The 26-year-old had a very good season in the I-League for the Red Machines, putting in some commendable performances from midfield and impressing many with his passing range. ATK Mohun Bagan have reportedly been keeping a track of him for quite a long time and were quite desperate to sign him during the January transfer window.

Martins has made 14 appearances in the I-League last season and despite being unable to score or assist a goal, he’s shown bright signs with his technical ability. He allegedly also went through trials for a few lower-division clubs in the United States but will venture into a new journey with ATK next season.

The Kolkata giants have already brought out the big guns in the transfer window, signing Manvir Singh, Subasish Bose and Sandesh Jhingan for the next season. It will be interesting to see how Antonio Habas picks his starting XI next season with a considerably strong squad of players available at his dispense.

For Martins, the competition to be in the starting XI will be relentless. Pronay Halder, Michael Regin, Sk Sahil and several others will vie for the spot with the Goan. But Glan Martins has proven himself a tenacious, skillful midfielder who won the Man of the Match against East Bengal earlier last season and will work his socks off to make his ISL debut in the upcoming.
