Regarding the news that was blowing fast, Souza, who had just been appointed coach, revealed the answer. The coach also kept hope that Thom would be part of the team.

Apart from Thom Haye, Jordi Amat is also widely rumored to be joining the Kemayoran Tigers.
Souza acknowledged that the capabilities of Thom and Jordi, which are full of experience competing on the European football stage, could potentially increase Persija's drinking power.
"Obviously, they are good players. If they really come, we will definitely be even stronger this season," he said.
Until now, Persija still hasn't talked about new players. Only Exel Rukahu was recently inaugurated as a new figure.
Meanwhile, a number of old players are confirmed to remain in Persija's costume, such as Gustavo Almeida, Carlos Eduardo, Hanif Sjahbandi, Ryo Matsumura, and Hansamu Yama Pranata.
