4. Soosairaj Michael
Though Chennai City did not have a successful season yet Soosairaj Michael glittered like a diamond in the attacking midfielder role scoring three goals and leading Chennai City FC’s late resurgence during the second half of the season.
Playing in the central role behind Aleksander Rakic, Soosairaj showed quick integration into the versatile attacking midfield role.
Michael Soosairaj partnered with Edwin Vanspaul to fit in the central midfield role for the Southern side where his clarity of thinking helped Chennai City FC build the attack from the central pitch.
Soosairaj showed his skills with positional awareness, versatility and scoring ability when needed to turn Chennai City FC into a surprise side in their debut season in the top flight of I-League.
His impressive form has landed him a two year lucrative deal with Indian Super League side Jamshedpur FC and it remains to be seen how long before the talented Chennai lad can break into the midfield formation of Steven Constantine’s Indian national team.
