Jaaskelainen may have made more than 400 league appearances for top English clubs like Bolton and West Ham, but when he takes to the pitch in ATK colours, the Finnish goalkeeper is going to have an extremely hard time in acclimatising.

The temperature in Finland remains below zero degrees for over 100 days. A polar opposite situation awaits him in the ISL.

In Rene Miheli?, Chennaiyin have the youngest football player ever to have played for the Slovenian national team. Rene made his debut for his country when he was just 19-years-old.

This league would not have been the same had a Bulgarian not flown down for season 4. Dimitar Berbatov will be the most famous player this season and he will play for one of the most passionate clubs in the country - Kerala Blasters.
