The signings show DDFC's intent to build a well-balanced team that will not only have great attacking options but will also have enough buffer in the midfield and the defence.
Arjun Tudu is a highly rated striker and joins the team from Army XI while midfielder Rupert Nongrum and defender Chinglensana Singh Konsham have been signed from Shillong Lajong. All the three players will be making their debut in the ISL and will be looking to prove their worth in the country's premier soccer league.
Tudu, who hails from a remote village in Jamshedpur, has been a top performer for the Services team, having scored 10 goals to help them successfully defend the 2016 Santosh Trophy. He was an integral part of the Army XI which plays in the Kolkata League before making this shift to the Dynamos.
Rupert made his senior debut in 2015 with his boyhood club Shillong Lajong where he rose up the ranks from the youth squad. Starting in 2010, he impressed everyone in the youth tournaments before making his senior debut last year. He is considered as an exciting young talent and could prove to be one of the best Indian signings for the Dynamos this year.
