Unusual situation blocking Himanshu Jangra’s road to ISL
Himanshu Jangra, the 17-year-old forward who is currently plying his trade for Delhi FC, has been receiving several lucrative and promising offers to play in the Indian Super League, but an unusual obstinacy from his parent club is denying the player’s propitious opportunity.
One of the club officials that had approached to secure the player exclusively quoted to IFTWC,
“Himanshu Jangra has offers of multiple years with a promise of being a regular starter in the later years. The clubs are interested for a long time, but an unusual stubbornness from the player’s parent club is blocking the deals, which, if otherwise, could turn out to be fruitful for the youngster.”
The clubs that have approached has high regards for the player’s talent but disappointed with the conduct of the parent club. It’s very unnatural for a player who has not featured in the top two flights of the country last season to get such propitious offers that result in a let-down.”
From a close source to this development, IFTWC can confirm that the Himanshu Jangra has had offers from three ISL clubs – two that offered to buy the player directly, one that offered to take the player in on loan with an option of securing him permanently.
The 17-year-old forward has been of prominent presence in the U-15 and the U-17 Indian national teams, scoring several goals for his side. In a combined 14 appearances, the player has 15 goals to his name. Similar performances are also seen to be replicated by the player in his club matches.
An offer for a prospective talent of this sorts to the top flight league of the country can be really vital for a change of fortunes in his career.
I guess nothing wrong in it. If a player has potential the parent club can ask any amount they want. It’s happens everywhere
Who are these reporters & club officials trying to shame Delhi FC? Delhi FC invested in the player (May be that’s why they gave long term contract) and want returns.
and ISL is not top European or Asian league, so why should they let him go?
Indian Senior National team camp kicks-off in Kolkata
KOLKATA: With all players among the initial list of 23 players having arrived in Kolkata, the Indian Men’s Senior National Team preparatory camp kicks-off in Kolkata for the forthcoming International Friendlies against Nepal.
This marks the return of the National Team camp in Kolkata after 15 years with the Blue Tigers last having camped in Kolkata way back in 2006 prior to the FIFA World Cup Qualifier against Saudi Arabia. The sun has been playing hide and seek from behind the dark clouds and weather forecast predicts rain and thundershowers for the next few days in the ‘City of Joy.’
“It’s a nice feeling for all of us to assemble at the National camp. The primary target is to get ready in our quest to qualify for the AFC Asian Cup China 2023. There is a roadmap laid down and we are confident of making it to China in 2023,” midfielder Anirudh Thapa stated.
The camp will be conducted under a secured bio bubble adhering to the laid down health parameters in wake of the current pandemic situation. All the players and staff have done their RTPCR testing prior to landing in Kolkata, and the entire contingent will also be undergoing regular testing while during the camp.
“The next few days will be intense and all of us need to be ready to rise up to the challenge. With the Qualifiers having ended, the focus has shifted to our qualification to the AFC Asian Cup, and the journey to our qualification has already begun. There cannot be any shortcuts,” defender Rahul Bheke maintained.
Among the list of 23, Seriton Fernandes, Ashish Rai, Rahul KP and Rahim Ali have been summoned to a Senior National Team camp for the first-time ever. Players from Bengaluru FC and ATK Kolkata will join the camp after completion of their club engagements in the AFC Cup.
Meanwhile, Pronay Halder who didn’t travel to Maldives for ATK Mohun Bagan’s AFC Cup commitments, and was supposed to join the camp later have joined his teammates for the practice sessions.
“Home is where heart is,” Pronay echoed. “The National Team camp is where everyone aspires to be. It’s nice to be back at the camp again. The competition in the camp in recent times has increased manifolds, and it’s no different even this time. There is a new talented bunch who are pushing everyone. We are looking forward to the sessions,” he quipped.
The contingent had a stretching session in the gym in the morning and they will be playing an exhibition match with the Bengal Santosh Trophy squad at the VYBK Stadium later in the evening.
The 24 players who have joined the camp are as follows:

He'll wish people birthdays and get into very long conversations just on Indian football.
He knows things about football in India which no one else does. Hope we see him healthy again and probably on commentory or as an analyst
I'm sure they said similar stuff to Boris and Komal.

Pronay Halder who couldn't make it into ATKMB team made it to national camp.
Also, Jhingan has been removed from the list. An opportunity for Narender. I don't prefer Adil Khan for that spot.
