ISL 2019/20: Predicting the five best debutants

#4 Amarjit Singh (Jamshedpur FC)

Amarjit Singh Kiyam works as a blocker at the centre of the park.

Amarjit Singh Kiyam was the captain of the India squad which featured in the 2017 FIFA U-17 World Cup. He played a dual role of a central midfielder and a defensive midfielder, controlling the game in the middle of the park.

After playing for two seasons at the AIFF-run developmental side Indian Arrows in the I-League, Singh is all set to make his professional debut in the Indian Super League. However, Singh may not feature in the starting XI regularly courtesy the tough competition in midfield at Jamshedpur FC. With the likes of Memo, Aitor Monroy, Piti and Isaac Vanmalsawma in their ranks, it will be interesting to observe if head coach Antonio Iriondo gives Singh opportunities to prove himself.

#3 Laldanmawia Ralte (Hyderabad FC)

Laldanmawia can play both as a winger and a midfielder.

Brought to East Bengal in 2017 after his phenomenal run during Aizawl FC's I-League winning campaign. Laldanmawia Ralte impressed from the word go. He has been delivering brilliant performances on the right wing and also as a make-shift striker. Ralte can also play behind the strikers in a more defensive and centralised role if needed. Under Khalid Jamil and Alejandro Menendez, the Dinthar lad played 33 games scoring 11 goals for the Red and Golds.

Laldanmawia has the capability to form a lethal strikeforce for Hyderabad FC with Nestor Gordillo. Marcelinho and Bobo upfront.

Khalid Jamil won the I-League with Aizawl when Ralte was there.
