Veteran goalkeeper Jussi Jaaskelainen has joined Indian Super League [ISL] champions Atletico Kolkata.

The 42-year-old former Bolton and West Ham stopper was released by Wigan earlier this summer after two seasons at the DW Stadium.

Jaaskelainen will play alongside Robbie Keane in Kolkata, who will be managed next season by ex-Tottenham and Manchester United striker Teddy Sheringham.

"Indian football has certainly become an exciting prospect due to the onset of ISL," said the former Finland international.

"It gives us a platform to interact with a whole new world of football fans who are equally erudite about the game.
