With some of their crucial players from past seasons such as Redeem Tlang moving on, they have a new team in place for the ISL 2020-21 season.
This season soccer lovers can expect a major overhaul in their playing style with Gerard Nus recruiting quality attackers such as Kwesi Appiah, Idrissa Sylla and Luis Machado, writes Sportskeeda.
All of these players have considerable experience in European leagues which will certainly help the case of NorthEast United FC in front of the goal.
