Persija Jakarta signals arrival of two new players, possibly Ivar Jenner and Justin Hubner

Indonesian football club Persija Jakarta is set to strengthen its squad by acquiring two to three new players during the upcoming summer transfer window, aiming to boost its attacking power for the 2026/2027 Super League season.

Head coach Shin Tae-yong confirmed the team's plans before departing for a training camp in Thailand. "Yes, we will depart for Thailand tomorrow. And yes, we were third in the President's Cup, but our team's strength was only 40 percent at that time. And there will be additional players, yes, two to three new players," Shin told reporters in Jakarta on Sunday.

The club is reportedly pursuing several diaspora players, with Ivar Jenner and Justin Hubner being strongly rumored targets. Both players have previously played under Shin Tae-yong for the Indonesian national team, potentially leading to a reunion at Persija.

“

Yes, we will depart for Thailand tomorrow. And yes, we were third in the President's Cup, but our team's strength was only 40 percent at that time. And there will be additional players, yes, two to three new players.

Persija Jakarta is scheduled to begin its training camp in Thailand on August 10th. The team will also participate in a series of friendly matches as part of its preparation for the Super League, which is set to commence on August 26th. The club's performance in the President's Cup, where they finished third, is seen as an indicator of their current potential, with the coach suggesting they were operating at only 40 percent capacity.

Meanwhile, Governor of DKI Jakarta Pramono Anung has set a target for Persija to win the Super League in the 2026/2027 season, viewing it as a potential gift for the city's 500th anniversary. He expressed confidence in Shin Tae-yong's leadership and emphasized the importance of team unity and cohesion for achieving this goal.

“

I am truly very hopeful and I believe in Shin Tae-yong's leadership, and it's only the beginning, it's already felt, the most important thing is togetherness, unity, cohesion in the team which I think is getting better. Hopefully, once again this season Persija will be the champion.
