After the Churchill Brothers's bid to rope in Ghana's striker Bismark Idan failed, they have now signed Lebanese striker Akram Moghrabi to finish their foreign quota.
The Al Nejmeh striker is expected to arrive in Goa on Sunday.
He will be the second Lebanese player to sign for Churchill Brothers for the coming season.
Churchill Bros will have two Asian players in their rank for the first time.
It was Lebanese defender Bilai (already signed by Churchill Bros) who recommended Akram's name, after the attempt by Churchill Brothers to rope in Ghana striker Bismark Idan failed.
He is a good striker and everyone knows him in Lebanon and he has scored six international goals, Churchill Brothers technical director Subhas Bhowmick said.
