NorthEast United FC head coach Juan Pedro Benali also expressed his thoughts following Bekey Oram's contract extension.

"Bekey is a fantastic and intelligent young player who can comfortably play both in defence and midfield. He reads the game well and makes smart decisions on the pitch. I'm very happy that he's staying with us and believe he has a bright future ahead," said Juan Pedro Benali. (ANI)
