Atletico de Kolkata : Players to watch out for

Stephen Pearson

Stephen Pearson is one among the many signings for Atletico this year to strengthen their squad. Hailing from Scotland, this midfielder boasts of 2 Scottish Premier League titles and 10 international caps for Scotland.

Pearson had originally featured for the Kerala Blasters in the inaugural season of the ISL following which he went back to his home side, Motherwell. Sensing the urgency to improve the midfield, coach Molina has brought him back for the side from Kolkata.

This versatile footballer has played before for Celtic, Derby County and Bristol City in the league format before. It would be interesting to see how the new coach Molina uses his services in the Atletico midfield. They will in all likelihood follow a more free-flowing, high-pressing style of football.
