Two-time Indian Super League champions Chennaiyin FC today announced the signing of 22-year-old Sinivasan Pandiyan from Chennai City FC on a permanent move subject to transfer window regulations.
The Thanjavur-born central midfielder has penned a three-year contract with the current ISL title holders on the back of an impressive I-League 2017-18 campaign.
He appeared on 17 instances for Chennai City, starting in 16 of them and proved to be a vital component in the side's fight for survival in the competition.
Chennaiyin FC co-owner Vita Dani took the opportunity to welcome Pandiyan to the club.
"It is a great moment for everyone at the club to have another player from Tamil Nadu representing us. We are excited to have Pandiyan join us ahead of a challenging season of title defence. He has come leaps and bounds in the last few years and we're sure he will only get better with us."
