The club has recently signed Liston Colaco, one of the best wingers in the country.
The number of foreign footballers will be reduced from the 2021-22 season of the Indian Super League and for this reason coach Antonio Lopez Habas wants to make the Indian squad stronger.

Liston can play in both striker and winger positions.
The 22-year-old promising footballer has been called up to the national camp this year. After joining ATKMB, Liston said, “It’s a great honour for me. It feels great to know that i will play for Kolkata in the Green-Maroon jersey. A new chapter has begun in my football career. I will try my best.”(UNI)
