Arhan became a byword for defending the Garuda squad in Singapore. The 20-year-old left-back is often trusted by coach Shin Tae-yong in the first team.
According to statistics, Arhan has appeared in the 2020 AFF Cup six times, starting from the preliminary Group B to the 2nd leg of the final against Thailand. Most of the time he appeared in full, even up to 120 minutes during the second leg of the semifinal against Singapore.
Despite acting as a defender, the player from Liga 1 club PSIS Semarang was able to contribute two goals and two assists. This is very impressive because his productivity is higher or equal to a number of strikers for the Red and White team.
Arhan’s quality was even recognized by being named the Best Young Player in the 2020 AFF Cup. He got that predicate after the second leg of the 2020 AFF Cup final, Saturday (1/1/2022).
Arhan won the GOAL NXGN Award for Best Young Player of the 2020 AFF Cup after a combination of fan votes and the highest ranking of the GOAL editorial team throughout the tournament.
GOAL considers Arhan worthy of receiving the award because he performed outstandingly on his debut in the AFF Cup. This earned him a lot of praise.
Maybe because of this, Arhan is said to have been watched by a South Korean club, Seongnam FC. Indeed there is no further information. However, it is not impossible that an agreement will be reached later.
