Madam Pang plays big, recruits young star who used to play for Chelsea for the Thai national team

Madam Pang has successfully convinced striker Jude Soonsup-Bell, a player who signed contracts with two Premier League teams, Chelsea and Tottenham, to accept to play for the Thai national team, opening up new expectations for the 'war elephant' attack.

Thai football recently attracted attention again, when Madam Pang (Nualphan Lamsam) - President of the Football Association of Thailand (FAT), confirmed that the striker of Thai - British blood , Jude Soonsup-Bell, had agreed to play for the Thai team . At the same time, FAT also began to complete the legal procedures and necessary documents for this player to be eligible to play in the FIFA Days training session next November .

According to the revelation, coach Anthony Hudson - who was recently appointed to replace Masatada Ishii - was the one who directly proposed to call up Soonsup-Bell, considering him an important piece in the plan to renew Thailand's attack. This decision also received the consensus and maximum support from Madam Pang, who is famous for her ability to connect and has great influence in recruiting talent for Thai football.

Jude Soonsup-Bell was born in 2004 and currently plays for Grimsby Town (League Two, England). He signed his first professional contract with Chelsea when he was 17 and made his first team debut in the Carabao Cup against Brentford. He then moved to Tottenham Hotspur, playing regularly for the U.21 team, then to Cordoba (Spain) before returning to England with Grimsby Town. Soonsup-Bell has made 8 appearances this season and has represented England at youth level from U.15 to U.19.

The arrival of Soonsup-Bell is considered a strategic move for Thai football, especially in the context that the team is in need of a young, modern striker with a European background to compete in major tournaments. Coach Hudson hopes that this player will bring speed, intelligent movement and scoring instinct to help Thailand improve their attacking performance - something that was limited during the Ishii era.

Recruiting a player who grew up in the football environment of the foggy country shows that Madam Pang is pursuing a long-term development direction, combining domestic resources and Thai players playing abroad.

After parting ways with coach Masatada Ishii, FAT quickly appointed Anthony Hudson to bring a breath of fresh air to the "war elephants". Hudson and Madam Pang's collaboration in recruiting Jude Soonsup-Bell is considered the opening shot for the era of rebuilding Thai football, aiming for the 2027 Asian Cup and the ambition to return to the top of the region.
