Last season's finalists Chennaiyin FC have made quite a few striking changes to their foreign player contingent ahead of the upcoming Indian Super League (ISL) season.
They have retained only two overseas players from last season and have brought in five new faces. Among them, the one who will be tasked with replacing the goals scored by Nerijus Valskis, who left for Jamshedpur FC, will be Jakub Sylvestr.
The Slovakian forward, who can play across the frontline, comes to India with the experience of plying his trade in a variety of European leagues including the top tiers in Slovakia, Croatia, Israel and Denmark.
