Born in Amsterdam, Sifneos is a Dutch striker of Greek descent. He is only 21 years old and is another youthful addition to the new-look Blasters squad after the 22-year-old Ghanaian Pekuson. Sifneos last played at Dutch Eerste Divisie club RKC Waalwijk, whom he joined last year and made three senior team appearances. According to sources, Meulensteen's close Dutch connections were key in identifying the player and completing of the deal.

The 6ft 3in centre-forward is strong in the air and has a cultured right foot. Alongside Hume, Sifneos could prove to be a useful option for Meulensteen in attack for the Blasters next season.

Kerala Blasters have been a traditionally goal-shy club in the ISL, but they will look to change that in the forthcoming season. Sifneos is a relatively inexperienced striker and hasn't played at the highest levels yet.

With the mix of experienced campaigners like Brown, Rachubka and Hume and young blood like Pekuson, Nemanja and Sifneos, the Blasters have gone for a balanced composition of the squad.
