THE British public are amazed why Indonesian national team player Nathan Tjoe-A-On is more popular than his former Arsenal teammate. This is evident from the followers on the Instagram account.

Nathan's name has continued to steal attention since he officially became an Indonesian citizen in early 2024. The Swansea City player also performed well when he was included in the U-23 Indonesian national team at the 2024 U-23 Asian Cup.

It's natural that Indonesian football fans are crazy about Nathan, especially women. Moreover, the 22 year old player has a beautiful face.

This combination made Nathan's number of followers on Instagram increase drastically. As of Saturday (25/5/2024), as many as 2.1 million accounts followed Instagram @nathantjoeaon.

This confused the British public. Moreover, Nathan's popularity surpasses that of his Swansea City teammate, Charlie Patino, who is on loan from Arsenal.

They were even more surprised because Nathan had never actually been played by Swansea City. He spent the last half year on loan at SC Heerenveen.

"Since changing citizenship and playing for Indonesia, Nathan Tjoe-A-On has played twice for the senior team and six times for the U-23 team," said the Twitter account @onlyswanss, quoted on Saturday (255/2024).

“He also has 2 million followers on Instagram, making him the Swansea City player with the most followers even though he has never played for our senior team. That's pretty crazy," added the tweet.

Just for comparison, Patino only has 297 thousand followers on the Instagram account @charlipatino10. This number is almost only one tenth of Nathan's total followers!

Nathan's number of followers on Instagram has the potential to increase. Moreover, the player's progress continues to shine with the Indonesian National Team.
