The ISL franchise completed their foreign quota of
signings with Nigerian striker Uche and Dutch winger Verhoek joining
their ranks.
David Platt’s foreign quota of players has been filled after FC Pune
City signed up forward Kalu Uche from Levante and winger Wesley Verhoek
from Dutch club ‘Go Ahead Eagles’.
The Wadhawan co-owned franchise took to social media to announce the
last two additions to their squad before the Indian Super League (ISL)
kicks off on October 3. The double signing announcement comes after the
Pune outfit signed up the likes of Tuncay Sanli and Roger Johnson while
out-bidding other franchises to land Eugenson Lyngdoh and Jackichand
Singh during the ISL auction.
Kalu Uche has experience in the La Liga and the French League for the
likes of Bordeaux, Levante, Almeria and Espanyol. The strong
centre-forward also has 36 appearances and 5 goals to his name in the
green of Nigeria's national team shirt. Dutch winger Wesley Werhoek on
the other hand has played for FC Twente and Feyenoord with a career
spanning over a decade.
The addition of the 32-year-old Nigerian international and the
28-year-old Dutchman will add to the wealth of European experience that
David Platt can rotate, ensuring players remain fit and ready for every
challenge that comes their way. FC Pune City’s opening fixture is the
Maharashtra Derby versus Mumbai City FC, on October 5.
