Harry Kane advises an overseas Vietnamese to come to V.League

Striker Lee Williams consulted with star Harry Kane before deciding to return to Vietnam to join a V.League team.

Harry Kane gave advice to striker Lee Williams before the overseas Vietnamese returned home.

Vietnamese-American striker Lee Williams is said to be on trial at a V.League club. It is known that this is a potential and ambitious team in the North.

However, the deal of this striker attracted attention because of the special connection between him and Harry Kane. According to Tri Thuc - Znews , this 20-year-old striker has a close relationship with the England captain. Before accepting to play in Vietnam, Lee Williams consulted Kane. The encouragement from the striker currently playing for Bayern Munich contributed to his confidence in choosing V.League as the next destination in his career.

In addition to Harry Kane, Lee Williams also received advice from his former teacher – former player Robbie Fowler. Having played in Thailand for Muangthong United in the 2011/12 season, Fowler has a lot of experience in the Southeast Asian football environment. He shared with his students about how to adapt when playing football in this region.

Lee Williams has a British father and a Vietnamese-Chinese mother (his maternal grandmother is Chinese). According to Transfermarkt, he will play for Warrington in the 2024/25 season on loan from Stockport County in the 6th division of England. For this team, Lee Williams has played 16 matches, including 12 starts, scoring 3 goals and having 1 assist.

The 1.90 m tall striker currently does not have Vietnamese nationality, so it is unlikely that he will have a chance to participate in the 33rd SEA Games. Lee Williams is only 20 years old, he still has a lot of time and can be called up for the next SEA Games if the naturalization process goes smoothly.
