4 more foreign stars roped in for Indian Super League

The much-anticipated IPL-style football league to be held early next year will be christened as the Indian Super League even as the organisers IMG-Reliance disclosed the roping in of four more big international stars. Former Trinidad and Tobago and Manchester United striker Dwight Yorke, former Sweden captain and Arsenal star Fredrik Ljungberg, ex-Argentina striker Hernan Crespo and former France and Arsenal winger Robert Pires have confirmed their availability. ‘Crespo, Yorke, Ljunberg and Pires have confirmed their availability,’ an IMG-Reliance source said. With their signings, the names of five marquee players out of eight have been known and the remaining three are expected to be named in a few days.
