    "editor1": "Kerala Blasters CEO Abhik Chatterjee: Three-time finalists Kerala Blasters roped in French star player Kevin Yoke on Monday ahead of the upcoming Indian Super League 2025-26 (ISL), which will commence on February 14.\n<p>Yoke was plying his trade in Super League 2 in Greece, where he made nine appearances for PAE Chania. The 29-year-old French international attacker, born 23 June 1996 in Clamart, France, primarily operates as a left winger but is equally capable on the right flank, offering versatility across the front line.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The left winger has joined the Blasters on a free transfer for the 2025-26 season. He is the second addition to the team ahead of the new season. The club has previously signed German attacking midfielder Marlon Roos Trujillo for the whole season. These two signings will strengthen the team, which will eye a comeback in the tournament.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cKevin is a player with qualities that suit the way we want to play. His ability to take on defenders, his movement in wide areas, and his experience at the professional level will add strength to our attacking unit,\" Kerala Blasters CEO Abhik Chatterjee said in a release by the club.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Yoke also reacted to joining the Indian club. \"I am very happy to join Kerala Blasters and can\u2019t wait to meet the squad and get started. I am ready to give everything to meet the challenge that awaits us,\" he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cKevin is a player with qualities that suit the way we want to play. His ability to take on defenders, his movement in wide areas, and his experience at the professional level will add strength to our attacking unit,\" Kerala Blasters CEO Abhik Chatterjee said in a release by the club.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h5><b>Also Read: <\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/live-cricket-score\">Live Cricket Score<\/a><\/h5><p>In the 2024\u201325 season, the team endured a particularly difficult campaign, finishing in 8th place with 29 points from 24 matches. Despite flashes of brilliance, such as a record-breaking 8\u20130 win over Mumbai City in the Durand Cup, they managed only 8 wins in the league and ultimately failed to qualify for the playoffs for the first time.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h5>Article Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/ians.in\/english-wire\/sports\/1\" rel=\"nofollow\">IANS<\/a><\/h5>",
