After a tough 2019-20 season, the club's sole focus will be to qualify for the play-offs more than ever and the selection committee has left no stone unturned to make the most of the transfer window and bolster the team with some jaw-dropping additions; it has certainly created quite the buzz in the world of Indian football. 

The club made 12 new signings including the 2019-20 Golden Boot winner Nerijus Valskis, former Motherwell F.C. player, Peter Hartley and Australian national, Nicholas Fitzgerald, along with some solid Indian talents like Jackichand Singh, Pawan Kumar and more.
