Wonderkid on his way here?? Arif Airman Hanapi

Tue Jan 21, 2025 4:51 pm

Rumour is that VT wants to sign a winger who plays in the Malaysian national team. He is apparently referred to as the wonderkid of their football and is 5’7””

Arif Aiman bin Mohd Hanapi (born 4 May 2002) is a Malaysian professional footballer who plays as a winger for Malaysia Super League club Johor Darul Ta'zim and the Malaysia national team.[2] :bluebird: :bluebird:

Rangers linked to Arif Aiman Hanapi

Rangers links to Arif Aiman Hanapi have appeared in Malaysian outlet the New Strait Times.

Specially, Rangers are mentioned on page 45 of the paper’s Sunday Times edition from 10th November 2024.

On the surface, Arif Aiman Hanapi appears to tick a lot of boxes for Rangers with the winger netting four goals in the ACLE this season.

The Johor Darul Ta’zim forward also has four goals and seven assists in eleven league games this season, whilst a further three strikes in the Malaysian cup takes the winger’s tally to nine goals for the campaign.

Airman could a decent signing if we get him.
He could PILOT us to safety!!!
Apparently we are also looking at another winger! Ousmane Camara!
He is 26 (just) born 28 December 1998) is a Guinean professional footballer who plays as a winger for Kazakhstan Premier League club Astana[1] and Guinea national team. :bluebird: :bluebird:

In fairness he looks very decent, on U Tube (dont they all!!). Also, he is held in very high regard in the far East
Amser a ddengys / time will tell!

In the meantime I think Salech looks the business. Lets hope he stays injury free. In his brief cameo he showed far more athleticism than Robinson, Colwill as the centrepoint for our attack.etc….

Can’t say I’ve heard of him, but the words ‘wonder kid’ and Cardiff City show we are potentially heading in the right direction if true.

We need to spend money to make money.

Maybe after all these years, Tan has started to realise that.

I hope there is some truth to this, he looks quick and he can finish aswell, he won't get that much space in the championship but he does look like he could step up no problem

Do we have any evidence this is coming down the track as to date we have only 1 player in so far.

I have watch some football from the league he is in I would be comfortable betting than our conference league is a higher standard. So too be a superstar in that league is not much of a challenge
Having said that every now and again someone from these leagues are way above the standard of the national league they play in Maybe he is the one ,who knows

After watching the you tube vids he seems to be rapid and possesses some nice tricks but for me the defenders over there seem to give you a lot more space. Nasty championship defenders would find him out.

Where is he then wonderkid ?
Could' nt get it over the line?

It's a rumor not a fact.

It’s madness.

No transfer news - reason to moan.
Transfer Rumour - Board failed to- reason to moan.
Confirmed signing - not first week - reason to moan.

I looked to see what news was around for Hanapi. He is apparently the star player in Malaysia. However Irans top club (“giant!”) are keen on him, also Rangers are interested.
We live in hope that VT is interested and can persuade him.

If we do sign him (albeit very unlikely?) then surely we can sing a variation of “Im so happy” by Pharell Williams.
Eg
“we’ve got Hanapi,
Clap along if you feel that is good news etc

I’ll get my coat! :bluebird: :bluebird:

Monty all clubs would like to get players in early but I took a look at some middle range clubs and 2 players seem to be the most brought in mostly loans or freebies
and one cost 7m by Norwich... so being unfair on city regarding lack of players .... but we do need another two decent players that's for sure... fun lacking on the forum at minute... :laughing6:

Fun with a smile on my face because we have signed a wonderkid that tan had pushed that would be funny in lots of ways .

The worst that can happen is that we get him, he doesn't fit and he joins the rest not quite good enough in Belgium for the rest of the season.

If he's a wonder kid it will not be because of anything tan as produced? But we do have an association with Malaysian football going back many years if its still running.

Not really commented on this thread because there doesn't seem to be anything substantial in it. Not being reported by any reliable people.

Compare that to Salech, reported by Danish and Swedish media with a high reputation, and Mannsverk which was reported by highly reputable Dutch media.

Some seem to be talking as if this is gospel, but it just looks like a rumour with nothing backing it up to me.

Nothing to take too much notice of.
