4. Igor Angulo
Another new arrival, Angulo, will be intriguing to watch this season. Last year, the 37-year-old scored 14 goals for FC Goa in a total of 21 appearances.

Set-piece specialist, Gabriel, is another player who is on loan at Mumbai City FC from Vila Nova Futebol Clube till May 31, 2022. The 29-year-old Brazilian is quite renowned for his ability to create spaces and hit free kicks.
Last season, he provided two assists for Vila Nova Futebol Clube. Thus, Mumbai City FC will be having some high hopes from him as well.
Thus, the Islanders have a complete package of quite talented foreign players this time as well. Will they be able to defend their ISL title this year?
