"Persija is a big team in Indonesia with a myriad of achievements. Both, all players in Indonesia definitely want to join Persija," said Hansamu, quoted from the Persija website.
“I am one of the lucky ones to get this opportunity. I will not waste it. That's why I'm interested in being part of Persija," he added.
