SLeague side join chase for Gonzales
Christian Gonzales is a man in demand. The barrel chested Uruguayan striker is the highest paid foreigner in Indonesia as well as the leading scorer in the game.
Since arriving in Indonesia he has scored freely, first in two seasons with PSM, then three and a half with Persik, with whom he won the title back in 2006,and most recently with Persib where he spent the second half of the season and continued his free scoring ways.
Now he is being sought by Persiba, led by his former Persik mentor Daniel Roekito. DPMM Brunei are also in the fray, says his wife, but it appears his first choice is Persib.
Problem is Persib have yet to appoint a coach and the local government is reluctant to give funding for next season.
