Whilst many followers of Fernandes' progress were hoping for definitive news of a contract, Steptoe said there is no need for disappointment, as its just a matter of time: "Brandon has excelled. He has shown Europe that India most certainly does have talent, and the next 12 months are likely to be very exciting for him, and indeed Indian soccer. None of these things happen overnight, and Brandon will resume training with ASD's SAFA 2 squad for the time being. He only turned 18 a few weeks ago, and given that we aren't even in the official football shop window yet, he has time on his side. Leicester City believed this to be the best course of action, and they, along with two other English clubs, will be monitoring his progress. A professional contract in Europe remains a very realistic target. This is only the beginning for Brandon".
