ISL: 5 Players Kerala Blasters might sign next season

#2 Tiri (Jamshedpur FC)

Tiri in action for Jamshedpur FC

While the previous names are the ones who fell out in the pecking order or didn't have the best of times, Tiri is someone who is very much at his peak, although his side Jamshedpur FC finished eighth in the points table.

Tiri has been in the Indian footballing scenery since 2015 when he played for ATK for two seasons before turning up for Jamshedpur FC. He then plied his trade with the latter for three editions of the ISL. A no-nonsense defender, Tiri averaged 5.7 and 5.2 clearances per game in the fourth and fifth season of ISL respectively.

The Spaniard also averaged at 2.7 and 2.8 interceptions per game in those two seasons. Tiri got injured in the later stages of competition this season, thereby affecting his performances. But, in no way, did it dip his stocks as the Kerala Blasters have reportedly acquired him for the forthcoming season.

A partnership between him and Sandesh Jhingan would be a massive defensive foundation for Kerala Blasters and that could prove to be impregnable.
