Ikhsan bin Fandi Ahmad (born 9 April 1999), commonly known as Ikhsan Fandi, is a Singaporean professional footballer who plays either as a forward or a winger for Thai League 1 club BG Pathum United and the Singapore national team. He is considered as one of the best strikers to have hailed from Singapore.

Ikhsan began his footballing career through his successful father by going through the youth system at the National Football Academy (NFA), with subsequent stints and trials at various clubs before debuting as a professional at the age of 17 at local club Home United[A] in 2016.[2] Ikhsan would move to the Young Lions in 2017, before signing for Norwegian clubs Raufoss IL and FK Jerv, respectively, netting a total of 16 goals in all competitions.[3] In 2021, he moved back to Asia, signing for Thailand's BG Pathum United.

Ikhsan currently holds the record of netting the fastest four goals scored by a player in the Thai League history in eleven minutes against PT Prachuap on 5 April 2022. He also is the first Singaporean player to score in the AFC Champions League knockout stage.

Personal life and education

[edit]

Ikhsan was born on 9 April, 1999 at the Thomson Medical Centre in Novena, Singapore. He is the second eldest son of Singaporean football player Fandi Ahmad and former model Wendy Jacobs. He has four siblings, one older brother, Irfan,[4] who plays for Port FC and two younger brothers, Ilhan, a club teammate who plays for BG Pathum United and Iryan, who plays for Hougang United and sister Iman.[5]

His grandfather, Ahmad Wartam, was an ex-national goalkeeper.[6] Hafiz Abu Sujad and the national team's physiotherapist Nurhafizah are the cousins of his father, Fandi Ahmad.[7]

Growing up in a wealthy family and profiting from his father's connections, Ikhsan was soon started playing at an early age.[8] Ikhsan attended the Singapore Sports School at Woodlands.[9]

Ikhsan holds a diploma in sports management from the Republic Polytechnic (RP).[8][10]

Club career

[edit]

Youth

[edit]

In March 2013, Ikhsan and older brother Irfan Fandi had an opportunity to secure their first overseas trial, with Hércules, a professional club playing in the Spanish second division. However, the pair ultimately failed to secure contracts with the club due to issues relating with visas. Irfan and Ikhsan left the club after contracts could not be secured.[11]

Later in 2013, the pair managed to sign for Chilean side Barnechea, having secured two-year contracts with the Chilean Primera División club.[12]

Ikhsan and Irfan then joined Chilean Primera División club Universidad Católica.[13]

Home United

[edit]

Ikhsan returned to Singapore and signed for Home United together with his brother Irfan ahead of the 2016 S.League season. He made his senior debut in a 2–2 draw against Warriors FC, coming on as a substitute for Khairul Nizam in the 85th minute. Around this time, he was often away for National Service (NS) together with his brother Irfan and so he only managed to end the season with 4 appearances and 0 goals.

Young Lions

[edit]

In 2017, it was announced that Ikhsan would sign for the under-23 football team, Young Lions ahead of the 2017 S.League season.[14] It was revealed on 17 March 2017 that, although Ikhsan has yet to make an appearance for his new club, his former club, Club Deportivo Universidad Católica, was interested in re-signing Ikhsan and his brother Irfan after they finish their national service obligations.[15] 5 games into the season and with the club still pointless, Ikhsan has still to make an appearance.[16]

On 23 April 2017, Ikhsan made his debut for the Young Lions against Tampines Rovers. In total, Ikhsan played 10 league games for the Young Lions while serving his national service as an infantry trooper.[17] Following the conclusion of the season, it was reported that Ikhsan, along with brother Irfan, is set for a trial with English club Leeds United in March, after the end of his national service.[18]

Ikhsan scored his professional goal in game week 7 against Hougang United. He also assisted with another goal.[19] He stayed on with the Young Lions for the 2018 Singapore Premier League season and scored 8 goals during his entire time at the club.[20]

Raufoss IL

[edit]
Ikhsan playing for Raufoss IL

In January 2019, Ikhsan travelled to Norway for trials for the clubs there. After impressing in his stint there, Ikhsan was offered a 2-year contract with the newly promoted Norwegian First Division club Raufoss IL.[8] Ikhsan played his first match for the club in a friendly against Mjondalen IF on 12 January. He came on as a substitute in the 64th minute in the 3–1 loss.[21] He scored his first goal for the club in a friendly match on 25 January 2019 in a 6–1 win against Elverum; scoring a rebound off a save from the goalkeeper to score the third goal.[22]

Ikhsan made his league debut on 8 April 2019, against Sandefjord Fotball, replacing Anton Henningsson. He hit five goals in three starts in a period between May and June[8] and ended his first season with Raufoss with 6 goals and 1 assist in 28 matches.[23]

On March 1, 2020, Eliteserien club IK Start invited Ikhsan for a three-day trial followed by a training camp from March 5 to 13 in Marbella, Spain, where they were scheduled to play three friendlies. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Start played only one match — a 2–0 win over fellow Norwegian side Grorud IL — and Ikhsan scored during his 75-minute outing against the newly promoted second-tier outfit. Start coach Jóhannes Harðarson was impressed with his performance and cited a possible transfer. However, with the league being delayed, The Norwegian Football Federation imposing a training ban on clubs until the end of the month and the transfer window closing on April 1, the move to the top flight club was held up.[24][25] The move to the IK Start eventually failed to materialise after the club and player could not agree on salary terms and contract length.[26]

Ikhsan scored his first goal for the club in the 2020–21 season in his fifth appearance and first start of the season when he climbed highest to glance in a cross from right-back Edvard Race in the 38th minute to give Raufoss the lead in a 3–1 win against Asane on 30 August 2020.[27][28] Having played just 425 minutes over 11 matches for Raufoss in 2020, scoring once, Ikhsan was keen to move away from Raufoss.[22]

FK Jerv

[edit]

Ikhsan secured a transfer deadline day move on 5 October 2020 from Raufoss IL to fellow Norwegian side FK Jerv before the transfer window closed and signed a contract until 2022.[29][30] FK Jerv is understood to have paid Raufoss over US$50,000 with a sell-on clause for Ikhsan.[31] Ikhsan made his debut off the bench 2 days after signing, in a league match against Hamkam.[32] He scored his first goal for the club on his full debut in a 4–2 win against his former club Raufoss on October 10, 2020.[33] Ikhsan made his second successive start and scored in a 2–1 win over Ullensaker/Kisa IL. He timed his run to head in a cross from the right by Ghanaian midfielder Michael Baidoo, scoring his second goal for the club in his third game and helping his new club to their fourth successive victory in the league.[34][35]

On 24 October 2020, Ikhsan notched his third and fourth goal for FK Jerv in just his fifth game, helping the club to a 4–2 win against Øygarden FK, with a 50th minute tap-in, before heading in his second from a corner in the 64th minute.[36] On 14 December 2020, Ikhsan notched his fifth goal for the club in the final game of the 2020 1.divisjon. He came on at half-time and equalised from close range in the 90th minute against Stjørdals/Blink IL. Ikhsan has called it the "most important of his career", after the result preserved FK Jerv's place in the Norwegian second tier.[37]

On 13 June 2021, after missing the first four games of the 2021 1.divisjon due to an injury, Ikhsan scored his first goal of the season just three minutes into his first appearance after coming on as a substitute at the 72nd minute. Ikhsan latched on to a cut-back from Willis Furtado, and finishing past Igor Spiridonov from close range, to equalise for his club against Bryne FK. He then helped to set up his club's winner, in the second minute of added time, playing a one-two with Thomas Zernichow, who later back-heeled for John Olav Norheim to make it 2–1.[38]

On 23 June 2021, Ikhsan opened the scoring on his first start since returning from injury in a 1–1 draw against Strømmen IF after a botched interception by Magnus Tvedte, allowing Ikhsan to flick the ball and put it past Simen Kjellevold Lillevik for his second goal in three matches. The 2021 season ended in Ikhsan's club, FK Jerv being promoted to the Norway 1st division league, Eliteserien, after the club had won 8–7 on penalties in a promotion play-off match against SK Brann on 16 December 2021. Ikhsan congratulated his club, adding that "I feel so happy and proud of my club for securing promotion and I'm looking forward to featuring and playing well against the big boys in the Eliteserien next season."[39]

BG Pathum United

[edit]

"I want to make a name for myself in the Thai league, show what I am capable of and show I can fight among the best in the region, even with the foreigners, and score as many goals as possible to support the team."

– Ikhsan shortly after signing for BG Pathum United.[40]

2021–22 season

[edit]

Around this period, however, there were rumours that various clubs especially in Asia were interested in Ikhsan, after observing his performances in Norway. Such rumours turned out to be true when on 22 December 2021, Thai League 1 champions BG Pathum United announced on their Instagram account that Ikhsan has transferred to the club during the middle of their 2021–22 season, on a two-and-a-half-year contract.[41] BG Pathum had paid FK Jerv TH฿2 million[B] for Ikhsan's services.[41]

On 6 April 2022, Ikhsan secured his first hat-trick for the club after scoring 4 goals in a league game against PT Prachuap that ended 7–2.[42] Ikhsan's 4 goal haul in 11 minutes placed him only 2nd in the fastest goal hauls of the 21st century in top flight league football ahead of Kylian Mbappé's 13 minutes against Olympique Lyonnais on 7 October 2018 during the 2018–19 Ligue 1 season, who also scored 4, and behind Robert Lewandowski's 5 goals in 9 minutes[C] against VfL Wolfsburg on 22 September 2016 during the 2015–16 Bundesliga season.[43][44][45]

On 24 April 2022, Ikhsan scored his first few goals in Asia's continental competition, the AFC Champions League. He recorded a brace against Philippines league champions, United City in the 2022 AFC Champions League's group stage, ultimately helping his club to win the game 3–1, securing BG Pathum United's place at the top of the group.[46] With the 2 goals, Ikhsan has scored across all competitions for BG Pathum United in the 2021–2022 season.

2022–23 season

[edit]

On 6 August 2022, Ikhsan won his first silverware with BG Pathum United when he scored in the 38th minute to help BG Pathum clinch the 2022 Thailand Champions Cup with a 3–2 win.[47]

On 19 August 2022, Ikhsan, along with his brother Irfan, became the first Singaporeans to reach the AFC Champions League's quarter-finals after their club defeated Hong Kong's Kitchee SC 4–0.[48] Ikhsan was the scorer for one of the goals, with a turbo strike from the outside of the box.[48]

On 1 June 2024, Ikhsan signed a 3 years contract extension with BG Pathum United after amassing 37 goals in 67 matches in 2½ seasons.[49]

On 16 June, Ikhsan won his second trophy at the club, playing the full match in a 1–0 win over Muangthong United which won the 2023–24 Thai League Cup. He had also scored a goal in the match but was eventually canceled as his teammate had fouled the goalkeeper while providing the assist to him for the goal.

2024–25 season

After being injured for nearly five months, Ikhsan returned to action coming on as a substitution in the 74th minute for Raniel in a 1–0 lost against Nakhon Ratchasima on 24 November. In his second match on 1 December against Bangkok United, Ikhsan came on from the bench at half time where he would go on to scored a crucial 90+2' stoppage time goal to secure a 1-–0 win in the league.
