East Bengal have already made several additions to their foreign contingent ahead of the new season. Mohammed Rashid, Dani Ramirez, Economedes and Natho are among the foreign players who have joined the squad.

The club could further strengthen its foreign contingent with the potential arrival of Effiong. If the move goes through, East Bengal’s squad will have another attacking option to work with.
