It seems that Junior Eldstal is one lucky lad.
After failing to help Harimau Muda at the University Games in Kazan, the 19 year old Sarawak midfielder is now called to join the more exclusive Harimau Malaya squad, coached by Rajagopal.
The news was rumored over social media when ex-Sabahan import player, turned football pundit Scott Olerenshaw tweeted that Junior will be called up to play for Chelsea and Barcelona under the yellow and black stripes in coming weeks.
Dayang Zainatull Aqma of ASTRO Arena further added to the speculation via her twitter account by tweeting “Told you there wasn’t only one coach interested in Junior Eldstal”
However, news of the confirmation came when an anonymous source close to the Sarawak Crocs confirmed it was true, and that Wisma FAM has already made the request formal, and that the news would be made public soon.
