Sandesh Jhingan is set to become the latest Indian male footballer to ply his trade outside the country...
ATK Mohun Bagan and India national team defender Sandesh Jhingan is all set to join Croatian First Football League side HNK Sibenik for the upcoming 2021/22 season.
When the deal goes through, the 28-year-old central defender will become the latest Indian male footballer to play professionally in Europe. Bengaluru FC custodian Gurpreet Singh Sandhu was the last player to play in a top division European league.
Mohammedan Sporting great Mohammed Salim was the first Indian player to play for an European club when he played to matches donning the Celtic jersey in 1936 when he went to Scotland for trial with the club.
