Midfielder Sheikh Sahil eager to make it count for ATK Mohun Bagan

Talented young midfielder Sheikh Sahil, who played a key role in Mohun Bagan’s I-League triumph last season, is now itching to make it count for ATK Mohun Bagan in the upcoming Indian Super League season. The 20-year-old is the only player from the last year’s I-League title-winning Mohun Bagan side to be named by Antonio Habas in his 27-member ATKMB squad. “I have been playing in my favorite green-maroon jersey ever since I came to play in Mohun Bagan U-14 team,” Sahil said. Amid several star footballers in the side, he took his place in the playing XI, from the Kolkata Derby to the championship-deciding match, and became a cog in Mohun Bagan’s midfield last season.
