"Edu has been an instrumental part of FC Goa for the past six seasons now and is well ingrained into the club's philosophy.

Edu is well aware that the challenge for him is to continue to evolve as a player and step up to the challenge that the league provides with each passing year and I'm sure he'll rise to the occasion when demanded of him, " added Ravi Puskur.After turning up for Spanish clubs like Racing Santander, UD Salamanca, Hercules CF, Barcelona B, 1860 Munich, Real Oviedo and Real Zaragoza, the Spaniard moved to Indian shores and joined FC Goa in 2017.Over the past four seasons, the Spaniard has been a part of many iconic moments for the Gaurs including the first-ever goal scored by an Indian side in the group stages of the AFC Champions League.After a disappointing season last time around, the Gaurs will look to see the Spaniard back to his best as they target a turnaround in fortunes.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
