Sahal Abdul Samad is 21-year-old Midfielder from Kannur in Kerala, who incidentally started his footballing career with Kerala Blasters FC, has become a regular in the 2018-19 season.

Many raised eyebrows when he got a start ahead of the likes of foreign recruits Keziron Kizito and Courage Pekuson. But with 93 passes in three games and two shots on target, Sahal has made his point.

He will be looking forward to earning regular starts at Kerala Blasters FC and would be a strong contender for the ISL emerging player of the season award if his good form continues.

With the good potential to improve his game, Sahal can be a good asset to the Indian football community provided he is nurtured and not allowed to wither away as we had seen with numerous potential players.

Being in the good books of David James, Sahal has his immediate future secured at Kerala Blasters FC.
