Indian Super League (ISL) : Kerala Blasters FC signed Ghanaian attacking midfielder Courage Pekuson.

He joins the Indian Super League outfit from Slovenian club FC Koper.

Although Pekuson is generally deployed in the attacking band of three behind the striker, the Ghanaian can also be of good use as a forward. Pekuson's primary role will be to feed the likes of CK Vineeth and Iain Hume in front of him.
The Yellow Army started
their pre-season by retaining fan-favourite players CK Vineeth and Sandesh
Jhingan. The club followed it up with a decent outing at the ISL player draft,
where they picked up the likes of Jackichand Singh and local boy Rino Anto.
