Izham In Demand
Multi-faceted Wings trainee Izham Fauzi Ikhwan drew a seldom-seen amount of attention from interested clubs after announcing his professional eligibility, and eventually went to Belgian VI.564 champions fc enfer rouche. The transfer fee of S$86000 might not have properly reflected the intensity of negotiations, but remains a good sign for the 17 year-old's future.
German seventh divisioners FC Blankenfelde were the main alternative for Izham, with French Division Six side Endoume13 and Italian Division Five favourites F.C. Virtus Torino also throwing their hats in the ring. Young Danish head coach Robert Kaspersen's plans for fc enfer rouche convinced Izham the most, however, which had him sign on with them.
"And the thing is, even we don't know what kind of player Izham will become." his scout Lim Hock Puay admitted. "He's one of those with very good fundamentals, and can adapt just about anywhere we stick him - except up top. He's never afraid to get physical even against bigger opponents either, which is another plus."
Izham's 18 year-old Wings senior Anish Thevar also finally got his call, with just-established American VI.38 club fc athletten taking him on as their first signing, on a free transfer. The budding midfielder is by all accounts excited about his pending move to Georgia, and may possibly even feature in their upcoming cup game against Californian Chaos.
