"This is an opportunity for me to hone my skills and gain experiences in a new environment. I have not set any personal goal yet, but I will try my best to not disappoint fans."

Yen played a vital role in helping Vietnam defeat Thailand 1-0 in the 30th SEA Games final by scoring a decisive extra time goal. She is currently the backbone of the Hanoi Women's Football Club and the Vietnamese women's national team.

The European club has officially reached final deal with Yen's club, Nhu's Ho Chi Minh City WFC and Dung's Phong Phu Ha Nam WFC.

All three footballers are waiting for their visas.

Lank FC is a newly formed women’s football club in the Portuguese second division. The club's goal is to earn a spot in Portugal's first division championship season for women in 2021.
