Balal Arzoo had offers from two Indian clubs early last year, but he refused the offers. Norwegian newspaper, Agderpostens, reports two clubs from India, Mumbai FC and United Sikkem, had competitive offers to the Afghan international, however, Balal rejected the offer since the offer was only for six months up to end of the season. The offer was equivalent of of a salary of a professional player in Norwegian league, according to the newspaper.
"It was very exciting. The problem was that they wanted me down now for only six months. For personal reasons, it was difficult form me to accept" says Arzoo. However, he does not rule out joining an India club in a later date. "It may be possible for me to become a professional footballer there in July or August if I get a longer contract" says Arzoo.
Arzoo is playing for Asker Club in Norway's 3rd tier club division. He has played in 7 encounters for Afghanistan scoring a total of 7 goals. He is expected to play for Afghanistan again in the AFC Challenge Cup Qualifiers in March.
