Mumbai City FC confirmed the re-signing of India forwards Sunil Chhetri for Hero Indian Super League 2016 on Monday. Chhetri was their top scorer with seven goals last season and is in top form at present as his recent showing in the international friendly against Puerto Rico proved last week.“Mumbai, first of all thank you lots for all the love and support that we received against Puerto Rico. I'm pretty happy to announce that in this upcoming season of Hero ISL 2016, I'll be donning the Mumbai City FC jersey again. I'm really excited and looking forward to it,” said Chhetri on Mumbai City FC’s official Twitter page after re-signing.India’s all-time top-scorer got off to a good start in the Mumbai Football Arena against Puerto Rico on Saturday while donning his national colours, and will be hoping to do the same in the blue of Mumbai City FC once the new season gets underway. Mumbai fans will be hoping his stunning free-kick that gave India the lead against Puerto Rico will be the first of many to come at the venue.Chhetri became the most expensive Indian player at the auctions last year when Mumbai City FC secured the signature of the four-time AIFF Player of the Year for a whopping Rs 1.2 crore. He also provided one assist and became the first Indian to score a hat-trick last season when he netted thrice against NorthEast United FC.
