The Marina Machans have been on a spending spree this summer, recruiting Laldinpuia, Elsinho Dias and Daniel Chima Chukwu from Jamshedpur FC first. They then signed Mohammad Nawaz and Gurkirat Singh from Mumbai City, while also recruiting Mandar Rao Desai and Kiyan Nassiri from East Bengal and Mohun Bagan SG respectively.
Now, they have confirmed Jordan Wilmar’s arrival to bolster their squad for the coming season, adding two strikers of a similar profile to their line-up.
Owen Coyle now has a great squad built to challenge for the title this season, and the former Jamshedpur FC manager will be expected to deliver now that he has the squad reinforcements required after making it to the top six this past year.
