Indian Super League: Ahead of the upcoming 2026-27 season, Punjab FC have bolstered their attacking firepower, officially signing Cameroonian centre-forward Raphaël Éric Messi Bouli on a contract that runs until May 31, 2027.

Standing at 1.86 metres (6 ft 1 in), Messi Bouli brings a dynamic blend of physical strength, aerial authority, and sharp penalty-box instincts to Punjab FC's frontline.

Capable of spearheading the attack as an outright number nine or combining effectively across the final third, his wealth of experience and link-up play will add significant depth and versatility to the offensive unit.
