Former German international defender Manuel Friedrich is the latest player to move to the new Indian Super League, with German press reports on Friday saying he had agreed a one-year deal with Mumbai City.

"I have always played with the idea of playing in Asia one day," the 34-year-old, who played for Borussia Dortmund last season after six years with Bayer Leverkusen, was quoted as saying.

Before that Friedrich, who has been capped nine times by Germany, won the Bundesliga title with Werder Bremen in 2004.
