DPMM FC have expressed interest in signing Latvian striker Davis Ikaunieks to represent the club in the Singapore Premier League (SPL) 2024/2025 season.
The forward currently plays in A Liga, the top tier of Lithuanian football for FA Siauliai.
The Brunei professional club have moved in their bid to secure his services after announcing their keenness and confidence to capture their target.
Prior to his switch to FA Siauliai, he was in the books of Czech top flight side Jablonec since 2018.
The 30-year old made his debut for the Latvian national team in 2016, scoring six goals in 43 appearances.
The move for the Latvian international comes as it emerged that Savi Roberto has decided to commit his immediate future with Esteghlal.
The signing will be a major boost for the Gegar Gegar men if proves successful given Ikaunieks’ current position as the second league top goal-scorer with 18 goals.
The Kuldiga native won the Latvian Higher League, the top tier of Latvian football, with Liepaja in 2015 having played an instrumental role as the league’s top scorer with 15 goals.
He was voted the Latvian Footballer of the Year in 2018.
A year later, he enjoyed success during his loan spell with Latvian top flight side FK RFS after winning the Latvian Football Cup, the main knockout competition in Latvian football.
