Yap A Red
Chicken Wings Young Player of the Season Yap Beng Yeng moved to Beijing club DNA&RNA for S$86000 this morning. The Division Four leaders had just sold off homegrown teenaged forwards Huang Wenli and Huang Hengjie, the latter who had earned his first international U-20 cap aged just eighteen, for a total of over S$15 million; this resulted in the offer being described as "irresistable" by Yap and his Wings advisors.
"There's no arguing with that kind of results." Wings scout Mok Feng De, who had spotted Yap tearing it up at a neighbourhood park, said. "Beng Yeng has the raw pace to trouble top defenders, and all he needs right now is good coaching, and quality game experience. DNA&RNA can provide both extremely well. In terms of development, this transfer was a no-brainer."
Brazil's Sport Club Savoia and Romania's .::Stelarii::. would thus be disappointed, after the two sixth division sides had fought a running battle for the 17 year-old dribble king. Indeed, interest had come from as far afield as Bulgaria and Germany too, with AC MILANELO 1899 and SIN PIEDAD '82 having offers faxed in even before Yap had officially become available. Martinarios AC, another Brazilian outfit, made up the list of potential destinations.
Mok had some final words of advice to his onetime protege. "It's okay to pass too!"
