East Bengal is making a real push in the next campaign and has made Connor Shields one of their top targets, with former Indian national coach Thangboi Singto as their technical director. Shields, who recently set a league record for assists and was named in the ISL's team of the year, is out of contract after his deal with Chennaiyin expired. East Bengal faces competition from Bengaluru, who have also made a significant offer to secure the Scottish forward's services. Transfermarkt currently estimates his market worth at 500k euros.
