BANGKOK: Officials from England's first division club Crystal
Palace are scheduled to come to Bangkok next week to discuss a
contract to hire Thai teen-age star Teerathep Vinothai, his
father said Friday.

Teerathep, 16, is currently on a three-year scholarship
training contract with Crystal Palace, which apparently wants to
change the contract to make him a full-time player, his father,
Thepchai Vinothai, told The Associated Press.

Teerathep went to England when he was 14 on a high school
scholarship obtained with the support of the National Football
Association. He signed the training scholarship contract with
Crystal Palace in July, 2001. --AP
