Bartholomew Ogbeche has already become a fan favourite at Kerala Blasters. The striker was signed by the Kochi club after a successful league campaign with NorthEast United. Ogbeche was the club's top goalscorer with 12 goals and played a pivotal role in their playoff qualification.

The PSG academy product has great experience, playing for 13 clubs in his career. He has also represented Nigeria in 11 international matches.

Kerala Blasters have always lacked a good poacher. Their experiments in the striker position have failed to make a telling impact. However, Eelco Schattorie's arrival as manager has gifted them a clinical striker as well.

The expectations on Ogbeche will be high, even though he will have support from Sergio Cidoncha and Mario Arques in midfield. His colleagues in attack -- Raphael Messi Bouli, inexperienced Rahul KP and veteran Mohammed Rafi -- have not been at their best, making Ogbeche the Blasters' most valuable acquisition in the summer.
