Punjab FC, the reigning champions of the 2022-23 Hero I-League, has made a significant move in preparation for their inaugural Indian Super League (ISL) campaign by securing the services of promising midfielder, Samuel Kynshi Lyngdoh. The talented player will be joining Punjab FC from Real Kashmir on a multi-year contract.
Samuel Kynshi Lyngdoh’s signing signing has stirred excitement among football enthusiasts and fans alike, as the young midfielder has been consistently showcasing his skills and potential over the past few seasons. His impressive performances in the I-League have caught the attention of several top-tier clubs, making Punjab FC’s acquisition a notable one.
The 2022-23 season was undoubtedly a historic one for Punjab FC, as they emerged victorious in the Hero I-League and earned promotion to the highly coveted Indian Super League. Their campaign was nothing short of remarkable, as they secured an impressive season-end tally of 52 points, outperforming their closest rival, Sreenidi Deccan FC, to claim the top spot. The addition of Samuel Kynshi Lyngdoh to their squad is expected to bolster their midfield and add depth to their already talented roster.
Samuel Kynshi Lyngdoh’s journey to this point has been marked by steady progress and notable achievements. He first made his mark in the footballing world when he was promoted to the Shillong Lajong senior team from their junior team, following standout performances in the 2017 Under-18 Shillong Premier League and 2017 Shillong Premier League.
His I-League debut against Gokulam Kerala FC showcased his potential, where he came on as a substitute for Kynsailang Khongsit. However, it was in the second game of the season against Churchill Brothers that he truly announced his arrival, scoring his first goal after being subbed in during the second half of the match.
In 2020, Samuel Kynshi Lyngdoh had a valuable loan stint with Kerala Blasters, which provided him with a platform to further develop his skills and gain exposure in a different environment. During his time with Kerala Blasters, he showcased his dead-ball prowess, notably scoring a direct free-kick in the KPL final.
Now, as he embarks on a new chapter in his footballing journey with Punjab FC, the young midfielder will be aiming to make a strong impact in the Indian Super League. His combination of technical ability, vision, and goal-scoring threat from midfield is expected to be a valuable asset for the team as they take on the top clubs in the country.
Punjab FC’s fans eagerly await the commencement of the upcoming Indian Super League season, and the addition of Samuel Kynshi Lyngdoh to the squad has undoubtedly heightened their anticipation. As the footballing fans keeps a close eye on this emerging talent, all eyes will be on Punjab FC to see how they fare in their maiden ISL campaign with their newly acquired midfield gem.
