ISL champions BFC’s signing of the 18-year-old Prabhsukhan is a testament to how far the teenager has come in his fledgling career. And it doesn’t look like it will take him too long to adjust – his older brother Gursimrat Singh Gill plays as a defender at Bengaluru FC.
I’ve only heard good things about Bengaluru FC and I can’t wait to begin pre-season with this team.
To be in the company and share the pitch with players like Sunil Chhetri and Gurpreet Singh Sandhu is something I am looking forward to because I stand to learn a lot and improve myself
