These young talents, who have demonstrated significant potential in the domestic league, are set to make their debut in the highly competitive Indian Super League (ISL)

Prateek Kumar Singh, hailing from Chandigarh, has emerged as a talented goalkeeper through his training at the Raman Vijayan Soccer School. The 23-year-old previously represented ATK at the youth level before commencing his professional career with Chennai City FC in 2019.

Sachu Siby, a defender from Kerala, impressed during the 2022-23 Kerala Premier League while playing a crucial role in Kerala United's title-winning campaign. The signing of Siby adds further depth to Chennaiyin's defensive lineup.

Joining the club as the third defender this season, Siby follows in the footsteps of Ankit Mukherjee and Bijay Chhetri. Siby expressed his joy and gratitude for the opportunity to be a part of the Marina Machans. He emphasized his commitment to wearing the blue jersey with pride and enthusiasm as he pursues his passion alongside the talented team.

These acquisitions are expected to bolster Coyle's efforts in building a competitive team for the upcoming season, setting the stage for a promising campaign ahead.
