MALAYSIAN international Indra Putra Mahyuddin is just one of DPMM FC's targets for next season's Malaysian Super League, revealed club manager Hj Eady Sardi PDDDP Hj Abd Razak during a telephone interview yesterday.
The forward, who currently plies his trade at Selangor, has represented Malaysia since 2002 and is one of the two Selangor players DPMM are interested in the other being midfielder and fellow international Muhammad Shukor Adan.
"We want to try and get these two players," said Hj Eady yesterday, confirming reports on the club's website.
"We have not made any contact with them or their agents, though we are planning to do so soon," he added.
Since the Football Association of Malaysia came up with a ruling last month which banned all foreign players from its domestic leagues next season in a move aimed at developing local talent Brunei's premier club is looking at signing quality Malaysian players to shore up the squad.
Melaka goalkeeper Khairul Izwan Jamaluddin, Police (PDRM) midfielder Md Norhisham Hassan, centre back Durahim Jamaludin and Sarawak striker Md Irme Mat are currently on trial with the club, with Negri Sembilan midfielder Rezal Zambery Yahya expected to arrive shortly.
Hj Eady also said that the club had sent an offer letter to Sabah striker Bobby Gonzalez last month, though they were still awaiting a reply.
DPMM were planning to appeal the ban on imports for next season and Hj Eady said that the club would be sending its letter of appeal as soon as next week.
If the FAM allowed the club to retain its imports, Guinean striker Keita Mandjou and Croatian defender Rene Komar could breathe sighs of relief..
Meanwhile, DPMM will represent the country in next month's Asean Football Federation's Qualifying Cup in Cambodia. Competing for the two remaining spots in the AFF Championship Cup, the team will leave for Cambodia on Oct 15.The Brunei Times
