Sunil Chhetri – Having trials with a MLS team
Sunil Chhetri
Talk is that India’s top international striker is currently in the United States, offering trials with a top tier club in Major League Soccer (MLS), America’s premier football competition. While the identity of the club was not fully established, those in the know are linking the Dempo Sports Club striker – highest scoring Indian in the I-league – to Kansas City Wizards, introduced as one of the 10 charter members of MLS in 1995. According to reports, Chhetri is joined for the trials by Craig Rocastle, a former Chelsea reserves player while the club has already announced the signing of Jimmy Nielsen, 32, from Danish club Vejle Boldklub.
If the deal goes through it will provide good learning opportunity for the talented Chhetri. Rubbing shoulders with the likes of David Beckham, Landon Donovan would be no mean feat. We wish Sunil Chhetri all the best in his trials. Before Chhetri, Bhaichung Bhutia played for a 2nd division club Bury FC in England.
