Kerala Blasters owner Nikhil Bhardwaj's convincing words helped Nishu Kumar put pen to paper on a long-term contract at the Kochi-based Indian Super League (ISL) club.
The two-time ISL finalists are yet to taste success in Indian football but the former Bengaluru FC full-back was on board with the club's vision.
Nishu told Goal, "Kerala Blasters are a big team. They have suffered in recent years. I spoke with the owner (Nikhil Bhardwaj), they are building a team for the future. I am very happy about the fact that they are signing young players.
