With his grandparents from Punjab, Yan is one of the most prolific foreign-born Indian-origin footballers, alongside Bayern’s attacking midfielder Sarpreet Singh. Interestingly, the push for Overseas Citizens of India (OCI) and Persons of Indian Origin (PIO) to improve the Indian national football team is not contemporary. Head Coach Bob Houghton tried to add ex-Newcastle United striker Michael Chopra to the Indian squad in 2006. Igor Stimac also showed interest in Iran’s Indian-origin player Omid Singh not so long ago.

You forget Manprit Sarkaria he is best indian diaspora players
Bad news Fellow Bharatis, Manprit Sarkaria was called up to Austria National Team and Wore Jersey #9 while Manchester Uniteds Sabitzer wore Jersey # 10 Under Former Manchester United Coach Rangnick. This is very sad how Indian Football Federation Leaders have not been working fully.

All of them are punjabi sikhs😎 no other states peopes have guts to play in euroepan league 😂😂
Bro we best players than them like chhangte, anwar, mahesh, sandesh.
Bringing Indian origin players will destroy the root of football in the nation we just don't want India in fifa wc we also want to see the nation grow as one footballing nation step by step I think that's beautiful and players need that motivation that's when the league grows with amazing homegrown talents bringing PIOs will be very unfair it's like taking steroids👍
May be make a proper league in India first? With relegations. Indian football will improve.
It is only desire they will never come
No need to go like this, ok 1 player ok but if we took more players from outside blocking our Indian players chance who born , in India
