It’s a dream that I’m living on a day-to-day basis, the one dream I’m working hard to make it as memorable and joyful as possible and reach the highest levels possible. I can’t wait to start training with the team and play in front of the Yellow Army”, said Sanjeev Stalin.

“I’m happy to have a talented player like Sanjeev Stalin join Kerala Blasters FC. He is a young player who has the ability to make an impact in our squad.  The experience he’s gained from playing 2 years in Portugal means he’ll be more mature and ready to play to the top level. I wish him all the very best and will extend my full support in his development.”, said Karolis Skinkys, Sporting Director, Kerala Blasters FC.
