Gurpreet Singh Sandhu played full 2nd match in reserve league for Stabæk Fotball against V.Haugesund and nearly kept clean sheet but conceded goal in 95th minute after defence lapse
Ex Manchester City and NewCastle City John Burridge backs Gurpreet Singh Sandhu for EPL as both Everton and Wigan Athletic showing interest .
Former Manchester City and Newcastle United keeper, Burridge, 62, was influential in taking Wigan Athletic and Oman keeper Ali Al Habsi to Norway’s Lynn Oslo in 2003, until he earned enough caps to qualify for a British work permit. He now intends to do the same with Sandhu.
“Gurpreet will become the first Indian to play in the EPL,” Burridge told Gulf News. “Both Everton and Wigan Athletic are interested in him, he just needs to get the work permit.
“If he breaks into Stabaek’s first team and plays regularly, which he will, by rights he should become India’s first choice keeper. Provided politics don’t get in the way and India play him, he has got a great chance. He can be a fantastic keeper.”
“At six foot five inches he makes Al Habsi look small,” added Burridge. “He kicks the ball from box-to-box from the floor and throws it like a spear. I first saw him play in the Calcutta derby aged 19 in front of 110,000 people. I have absolutely no doubt about him, he has the mentality to succeed and wants it desperately.
