3 players to watch out for in ISL 2024
David Lalhlansanga (East Bengal FC)
David Lalhlansanga could be the dependable striker India needs. After a standout season with Mohammedan SC, where he helped secure the I-League and Calcutta Football League titles and scored 21 goals, Lalhlansanga has joined East Bengal for the 2024–25 season. Although he has yet to debut for the Indian team, his talent is evident. With Cleiton Silva and Dimitrios Diamantakos at East Bengal, his opportunities might be limited initially, but Lalhlansanga has the potential to make a significant impact.
Mohammed Sanan (Jamshedpur FC)
Mohammed Sanan made a notable impact in his debut ISL season with Jamshedpur FC, netting two goals and providing one assist in 20 matches. His creativity shone through with 13 chances created and 12 key passes. The 20-year-old Malappuram winger is currently in great form, having scored twice in three Durand Cup games. He is expected to have an impressive 2024–25 ISL season.
