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.
