Chennai: Two-time ISL champion Chennaiyin FC has announced signing up of Portugese forward Esmaël Gonçalves, better known as Isma, on a free transfer for the 2020-21 season.
The 29-year-old Portuguese attacker, who was capable of playing anywhere across the forward line, was set for a first stint in India following a stint at Japanese club Matsumoto Yamaga.
“It feels great to join Chennaiyin, a club that represents a city with rich culture and a wonderful fanbase”, Isma said, adding, “my conversations with our Head Coach (Csaba László) have been great so far and I truly believe in the project he has in mind for us.”
“I will work extremely hard to fulfil what my team and coaches expect from me and hopefully deliver with as many goals and assists that help us win and achieve our objectives,” he said.
