Indian Arrows' Suresh Wangjam and Prabhsukhan Singh Gill sign for Bengaluru FC
The duo represented India in the FIFA U-17 World Cup 2017.
Indian Super League champions Bengaluru FC have signed Indian Arrows duo, goalkeeper Prabhsukhan Singh Gill and midfielder Suresh Singh Wangjam, adding to their squad ahead of Carles Cuadrat’s second year as Head Coach. With Cuadrat having extended his stay at with the Blues until 2021, the new signings mark the beginning of the club’s first-team plans for the 2019-20 season.
Prabhsukhan, whose elder brother Gursimrat has had two stints with the Blues, said he was excited to be joining what he considered the best club in the country. “I’ve only heard good things about Bengaluru FC and I can’t wait to begin pre-season with this team. To be in the company and share the pitch with players like Sunil Chhetri and Gurpreet Singh Sandhu is something I am looking forward to because I stand to learn a lot and improve myself,” said the 18-year-old, after completing formalities on a one-year deal.
Wangjam, who began his career with the Bir Chandra Memorial Sports Club in Manipur, was selected to represent the India U14s in 2014 and was also a part of the national team that took part in the FIFA U17 World Cup in 2017. Before joining the Blues, 18-year-old Wangjam spent two years alongside Prabhsukhan in the Indian Arrows setup.
