As the saying goes, strikers hunt in packs. Last season, Eelco Schattorie tried to deploy Bartholomew Ogbeche and Raphael Messi Bouli together on the pitch but the injury-hit campaign did not end well.

Kerala Blasters turned to the United Kingdom to find an answer like they have done so many times in their first few years in the Indian Super League (ISL).
