Kolkata, June 19 (IANS) City football giant Mohun Bagan on Wednesday roped in Spanish striker Salva Chamorro from Greek club Doxa Drama FC, a statement said.
The 29-year-old forward from Orihuela in Spain started his professional career in Villarreal. He played for the La Liga club's reserve teams Villarreal C and Villarreal B between 2008 and 2012.

The signing was initiated by head coach Kibu Vicuna after discussing with the Mohun Bagan management.
"This is a challenge I am really looking forward to. After I spoke with Kibu and read about the legacy of Mohun Bagan, I never had any doubts in my mind. I am looking forward to working with Kibu, meeting the team and getting started," Salva Chamorro said in a statement.
