The 28-year-old Oliver Vugrin Flindt Drost joins the Blues as a replacement for English striker Curtis Main
Bengaluru FC’s latest signing Oliver Drost said, “I really hope that I can help the team with goals and assists, and that together, we can make the play-offs in the ISL.”
Drost, is a natural striker, who can also play on the wings. Drost has played his career so far solely in his native Denmark, even representing the Denmark U-19 and U-20 teams. Drost began his youth career with FC Helsingør, while his first senior club was Boldklubben AF 1893. He had separate stints at AC Horsens, a season at Kolding IF, before returning back to FC Helsingør.
Speaking on the signing, Bengaluru FC head of football, Darren Caldeira, said, “He brings with him enough experience of playing in the Danish League, and we’ve liked what we’ve seen. We are confident of staging a stronger second half of the season, and we believe that Oliver will play his part in helping us achieve this.”
Bengaluru manager Gerard Zaragoza said the club took its time with identifying a striker, and feels Drost fits into his system well.
“Oliver (Drost) is a No.9 with the heart of a No.10. He is a striker, but also enjoys playing just outside the box, and given the style of football we play, this could be great. We spent a fair amount of time searching for the ideal replacement, because we wanted to bring in someone who suits our style the best, and when I saw Oliver, I got the impression that he could be that player.”
Drost will don the number nine shirt for Bengaluru FC.
