Indian professional winger Mohammad Yasir has officially signed with Kerala Blasters FC on a one-year contract. To facilitate the move ahead of the upcoming 2026-27 Indian Super League season, his existing contract with FC Goa was mutually terminated. This high-profile signing is part of an aggressive squad rebuild by Kerala Blasters following a major investment takeover by the Al Fursan group. The 28-year-old from Manipur becomes the latest addition to a wave of new domestic talent arriving at Kochi under head coach Ashley Westwood.
Yasir brings a wealth of top-tier domestic experience to the Blasters’ frontline. He has made over 114 appearances in the ISL since his debut in the 2017-18 season, featuring for clubs including Hyderabad FC, where he won the ISL title, as well as FC Pune City and FC Goa. His career has been defined by consistency and versatility, and he has also represented the India national team with 13 senior caps. His experience at the highest level of Indian football will be invaluable to a Kerala Blasters squad undergoing significant transition.
Known for his left-footed playing style, Yasir primarily operates on the right flank, where he is celebrated for creating width, stretching defensive lines, and delivering accurate crosses into the box. His ability to contribute both as a right winger and an attacking midfielder adds tactical flexibility to Westwood’s options. His signing addresses a key area of need for the Blasters, who have been rebuilding their attacking unit to compete in the upcoming season.
Yasir joins a growing list of domestic signings that includes Mohammed Sanan, Amrinder Singh, Sahil Tavora, and Ramhlunchhunga. Together, these players represent a significant investment in the squad’s depth and quality. With the new ownership in place and a clear recruitment strategy taking shape, Kerala Blasters are positioning themselves for a competitive campaign in the 2026-27 ISL season. Fans will be eager to see Yasir and his fellow newcomers in action as the club embarks on a new chapter under the Al Fursan group.
