JAKARTA - The Indonesian national team player, Pratama Arhan, is just one step closer to Japan to join the second caste club, Tokyo Verdy. Before leaving, Arhan admitted that he had set a target to win the main place in the J2 League team.

"Later there (Tokyo Verdy) I will work even harder to get a place in the core team," said Arhan during a press conference on Friday, March 4.

The 20-year-old left-back has signed a contract with Tokyo Verdy for two seasons. Arhan, who previously defended PSIS Semarang, was released to Tokyo Verdy without a penny. Laskar Mahesa Jenar himself admitted that he was willing to release Arhan for free for the sake of the young player's career development.

Regarding his departure to Japan, Arhan admitted that he had prepared everything carefully. No exception about his ability to speak.

Although currently not very fluent in Japanese, Arhan firmly stated his great desire to deepen the local language. This is nothing but for his development in the field.

"I have started looking for a tutor (Japanese language), later I will study online," he said.

Apart from preparation and determination, Arhan himself signed a contract with Tokyo Verdy last January. However, after being inaugurated, Arhan could not immediately join because he still had to take care of moving documents.

During that time, Arhan was also given the opportunity to enjoy the last matches with PSIS Semarang. Currently, Arhan's transfer documents have been completed. Dusan Bogdanovic as Arhan's agent said his client will leave for Japan next week.
