At 18 years old, Danelle Tan is set to sign for, after playing for the London Bees in England for about three months.
"I think I can really grow and thrive as a player. The professionalism at the club is something that is really attractive to me, and so it's definitely somewhere that I want to be in the long term,” she said. It gave her a “necessary advantage to play in Germany because … in Asia and Europe, we are all built differently”, noted Dr Suresh.
She said that the level of coaching, along with the speed and intensity of play, is different in Europe. “When I moved here, a lot more of my time could be spent focusing on football and training rather than at home, where I would be juggling exams and school and a lot more other things,” she said., which gives her a chance to play longer and without any disruption, said Dr Suresh.
Currently in the midst of her A-level examinations, Danelle will put her studies on hold after that, and go all in to pursue her footballing career.
