Available – that is the status of Indian deadliest striker Baichung Bhutia.

The Indian captain, who is in Singapore as a Euro 2004 commentater for the sport show ESPN, expressed interest to try out in the S-league if any clubs wishes to come forwards to recruit him.

The 27 year-old striker contract with Indian giant East Bengal ended last month after he had lead them to their second constitutive national titles.

The Indian giant are desperate for him to resign with them as they want him for the league season & their campaign in the AFC cup which both Home United & Geylang United are also involved in.

Other than that, Cypriot Premier Division club AEL Limassol have also offered him a trial.

However any plans to sign him would be expensive as he earned more than US$5000 back in India with his e-club East Bengal.
