#3 Boris Singh Thangjam- ATK

Small in stature but Boris Singh Thangjam never fails to give more than his 100% effort

Dribbling, pace, intelligence to make the best choices, versatility - Boris Singh Thangjam has all of those in abundance. With Boris Singh sacrificing consistent playing time while playing for the Indian Arrows to grabbing more spotlight by playing for ATK, the upcoming ISL season will be a big one for the young Manipuri.

In the U-17 World Cup, Boris Singh turned out to be one of the very few Indian players who managed to make their presence felt on the big stage. Since then he has only become even more consistent as a player.

While his talent has helped him make this list of players to watch out for in the upcoming ISL season, one has to wait and watch as to what role Boris would play for a heavily-stocked ATK outfit.

Although he can play in various roles such as right-back, left-back and right-winger, the presence of players like Pritam Kotal, Ricky Lallawmawma, Sena Ralte and Prabir Das might limit his game-time.

Yet, ATK and Indian football fans would hope that this hugely talented youngster gets a chance to prove his ability under manager Antonio Lopez Habas.
