ATK Mohun Bagan signs French footballer Hugo Baumus for ISL
Former ISL (Indian Super League) champions ATK Mohun Bagan have signed French footballer Hugo Baumus, the attacking midfielder of the Indian Super League.
The French footballer, who won the Golden Ball in 2020, was one of the best midfielders to have played in the ISL last season. With this deal, the attacking power of Antonio Habas’ ATK Mohun Bagan team has become stronger.
The club said, “Hugo’s best quality is that he is very quick around the box of the opposition camp as a striker.” He is able to pass the ball on the target. ATK Mohun Bagan is looking to build a strong team for the next season. The club has already signed Joni Kouko, who played for Finland in the Euro Cup this year.
Hugo told ATK from Greece after signing the deal, I know Kolkata as the Mecca of Indian football. I am happy to tie up with ATK Mohun Bagan, the traditional and successful club of the city. I have heard that playing in front of millions of supporters of Green-Maroon team in Yuva Bharati is different and I will play against them this time to win. I am always hungry to win the trophy. I’ve brought success to the clubs I’ve played in and I’ll keep that in mind when I play again. I will try my best to win. The original owner of the team, Sanjeev Goenka, inspired me to come to Kolkata. I am grateful to them. My target is to win the AFC Cup and the Indian Super League.
ATK Mohun Bagan manager Antonio Habas said, “Hugo is a very fast and technically successful footballer. His personal skills are also very good. Hugo can attack as well as counterattack, which is why he is so successful. The strength of the team has increased significantly with the arrival of Hugo.
It is noteworthy that ATK Mohun Bagan has also signed Ashutosh Mehta, one of the country’s star defenders this week.
