Jeremiah to practise with EB today
East Bengal have ?tentatively? reached an agreement with Ever-Ready?s Earnest Chukwuma Jeremiah and the Nigerian striker will join the red-and-gold outfit in practice at the club ground on Tuesday.
?Jeremiah has been asked to join practice tomorrow,? a senior East Bengal club official said on Monday. Coach Subhas Bhowmick, holidaying in Shantiniketan, is also set to join the team on Tuesday.
East Bengal, however, may find it difficult to sign Jeremiah as the fourth foreign player in their ranks, as the Ever-Ready officials are keen not to release him. His inclusion in the East Bengal squad on lien is, therefore, not ruled out.
