“Now my aim is to play for the top-level clubs in ISL or I-League. There are many offers that I am receiving, there are calls from different agents but I am not sure where I want to go. But in the coming time, I want to take my career forward by playing at bigger clubs,” he said as quoted by Firstpost.
The striker also hopes that his rise in the Indian footballing ranks will ensure that he can help his family financially, considering that his father is an auto-rickshaw driver and the sole breadwinner in the family.
“My family is struggling financially now because my father is the only one who is working but I want to help my family in that regard and that remains my main aim,” Jesin concluded.
