SC East Bengal have struggled to find a proper goalscorer upfront. Therefore they have also welcomed the arrival of Brazilian striker Marcelo Ribeiro dos Santos from Portuguese top tier outfit Gil Vicente FC. They also signed Spanish versatile midfielder Francisco Jose Sota Bernard who joins SC East Bengal from Spanish third tier outfit CD Calahorra. Similarly Rahul Paswan has been a star in this season’s Calcutta Football League for BSS Sporting Club. The youngster has scored many goals this season and has been one of the standout players. So adding him to the team will only bolster SC East Bengal’s forwardline.
