17 year-old Chicken Wings graduate Lee Chu Han went on a free to Finnish VI.831 team Happy Team -85 this afternoon, as head coach Janne Kiukkonen's first-ever signing. This was followed by his S$134000 purchase of Swedish teenager Fredrik Andersson from Grenada's Shakhtar Donuts F.C, and then more free transfers for Ludvík Schütz, Whiteson Habulembe and Tom Wulff so far.

Lee had also attracted official interest from Belgian Division Six side FC Goldstrikers and Polish Division Seven club zagłebia sosnowiec, and Grilled Birds boss Dan Alstani was of the opinion that he would have made the senior squad at another time. "He had that air about him that reminded the coaches of some of the past Wings greats - some even compared him to Tian Yonghang, though to be fair those are some huge boots to fill."

The man himself was under no illusions about his situation, reassuringly. "I haven't even achieved anything yet - I have got to thank Kiukkonen for giving me a chance. They have gotten off on a good footing with a win, and hopefully I can establish myself as part of their first team soon!"
