According to reports, Blasters are also closing in on a deal with Berbatov. It was being said that talks with Berbatov had hit a roadblock following the striker's steep wage demands but now it is believed that a deal is about to be reached. Rene Meulensteen has worked with both Berbatov and Brown at Manchester United.

Brown's signing is the second big signing of the season after former Ireland captain Robbie Keene joined Atletco de Kolkata. Brown and Keene share the same agent- SFX Sports, who also have Michael Chopra, Graham Stack and Joleon Lescott on their roster.  

Brown spent 19 years of his professional career at Manchester United. He came through the ranks at the club and won five Premier League titles and two Champions Leagues with the Red Devils. Upon departing the Old Trafford outfit in 2011, he joined Sunderland and played at Championship club Blackburn Rovers last season.
