Sandhu is really good and at least as seen in these highlights from Iranian media. He was single handedly battling the Iranian forwards in our match with them.

However, I believe he is the captain of the Stabaek reserve side and generally does not start for their first team. He is however in their 18 (i.e., among the reserves) in most games and Stabaek is one of the top team Norway. If he does indeed become a starter for them, I believe he'll playing at a higher level than any other Indian player who has gone to Europe from India.

The SAI/AIFF Overseas Scouting Portal was launched last year with the aim of finding potential Non-Resident Indian youth footballers with Indian passports, who could strengthen the Indian U-17 national team at the 2017 FIFA U-17 World Cup at home.
