The experienced Indian midfielder was a part of Kerala Blasters for first three ISL seasons and helped them reach the finals of the tournament on two occasions. Mehtab Hossain joined the newly-formed Jamshedpur FC under Steve Coppell for the 2017 season.

Known as the 'Claude Makelele of Indian football', Mehtab had an important role to play in Kerala Blasters reaching the Finals in 2016 -17 season of ISL. The strong midfielder is not hesitant in going for strong tackles on opponent attackers and winning the ball back. Such attributes made him one of the first names to join Steve Coppell's team.

The Indian midfielder retired from the national team from 2015, but his performance and his importance in the role he played for the club brings him to this list.
