Thai football is abuzz with new player announcements and dreams of greater achievements as clubs seek to strengthen their line-ups. Recently, two significant news items emerged involving player aspirations and transfers, particularly focusing on Victor Jörgenes, the standout striker from Sporting Lisbon, and Selwan Al-Jaberi, who has officially joined Chai Nat Hornbill for the upcoming season.
Victor Jörgenes, who has been making headlines this season with his phenomenal performance, expressed his aspirations for playing in the English Premier League. Known for his goal-scoring prowess, he has penned down 26 goals and provided 4 assists over 24 games this season for the 'Lions of Lisbon.' With notable interest from Premier League giants Manchester United and Arsenal, Jörgenes shared his dream during one of his recent interviews: "Of course, (moving to Sporting) is different because I always had the goal of playing in the Premier League". His sentiments reflect the aspirations of many players aiming for the top tier of football.
When asked about his current position at Sporting Lisbon, Jörgenes acknowledged the challenges of shifting leagues: "I talked to many people around me who have helped me, it seems like this (moving to Sporting) was the right choice." His reflections echo the sentiments of athletes striving for success against the odds, underscoring the sacrifices involved.
Meanwhile, shifting focus back to the Thai League, Chai Nat Hornbill has made waves by officially acquiring striker Selwan Al-Jaberi. The 33-year-old product of both Sweden and Iraq brings vast experience, having played for various local clubs such as Bangkok FC, Kasem Bundit University, and Ranong United among others. Chai Nat Hornbill hopes this new signing will bolster their attacking options as they gear up for the second leg of the 2024/25 season.
Al-Jaberi is set to don the number 11 jersey for his new club, adding to the existing firepower needed for Chai Nat to make a strong impression as the season progresses. His latest season saw him shine for Phitsanulok United, guiding them to the Champion League's qualifications and maintaining solid scoring abilities, which included hitting the net 10 times during the Thai League 2 competition.
Before joining Chai Nat, Al-Jaberi had made his mark by contributing significantly to each team he played with. His ability to find the back of the net has been exemplary, as reflected by his recent tally of three goals for Loei United before making the switch to Chai Nat Hornbill.
Chai Nat Hornbill's management expressed their confidence in Al-Jaberi's abilities, emphasizing their strategy to fortify the squad as they prepare to face tough competition. "We believe in Selwan's skill set, which adds depth to our front line and will play a pivotal role as we head toward more challenging matches against formidable teams" stated the club management.
