Jagjeet Shrestha (Nepal)
Age: 21 Position: Wide Midfielder
A product of the ANFA (All Nepalese Football Association) Academy, Jagjeet is widely referred to as the ‘Nepali Messi’ by local fans. Jagjeet has represented Nepal at various age group levels and made his international debut in 2011. The Three Star Club player also had a one-month training stint with Bayern Munich two years ago and despite his tender age, he is set to play an important role for the hosts at SAFF 2013.
Testimonial: Although a wide midfielder, Jagjeet is also quite a clinical finisher and is efficient from freekicks. He is easily one of the most technically gifted players of Nepal but has to work on his temperament – GoalNepal.com
