Jeakson Singh, the heart of Kerala Blasters’ midfield, looks to return the love of ‘Manjapada’ with an ISL title

The Hindu  

If you watch Indian midfielder Jeakson Singh go about his way on a football pitch, you would feel he is playing to a different tune compared to the rest on the field. My father sacrificed a lot to help us to reach where we are today.” Jeakson’s growth as a footballer received its biggest lift-off when he joined the Chandigarh Football Academy. Jeakson took the call to join Blasters soon after he starred for the national side in the 2017 Under-17 World Cup, where he became the first Indian to score a World Cup goal. India’s Jeakson Thounaojam celebrates after scoring India’s first goal during the FIFA U-17 World Cup 2017 football match against Colombia in New Delhi. Vukomanovic’s arrival also marked an upturn in Jeakson’s fortunes, with the midfielder becoming a regular feature in the playing XI, often entrusted with anchoring the side from the midfield, a role ISL sides don’t usually hand to Indian players, let alone to one barely out of his teens.
