Chennaiyin FC have roped in talented defenders Ankit Mukherjee and Bijay Chhetri on multi-year deals to bolster the team’s defence ahead of the upcoming season.
Ankit joins the Marina Machans from East Bengal FC. The 26-year old’s experience and ability to read the game well will play a crucial role in bringing stability to the defense.
“I am really happy and excited to join the two-time ISL Champions. Chennai has passionate fans and I am looking forward to donning the Chennaiyin FC jersey and playing in front of them,” Ankit Mukherjee commented.
