Amidst interest from multiple clubs in India, Hyderabad FC left-back Akash Mishra has chosen to sign for Mumbai City FC. The defender was highly sought after, but has committed his future to the Islanders and has signed a contract with them until 2028. 

The 21-year-old spent three seasons with Hyderabad FC, and played a very important part in their ISL title win a couple of seasons ago. He has been named the 2022/23 AIFF emerging player of the year, and it will be very interesting to see how he grows under Des Buckingham at Mumbai.

Fall has made 68 appearances in the Sky Blue shirt, scoring eight goals. But he has now decided to take up a new challenge with the Super Cup winners alongside Jahouh, who also moved on after the expiry of his contract.
