HAGL "rescues" naturalized striker who always wants to be on the Vietnam national team

Hoang Vu Samson has just parted ways with Ho Chi Minh City Club after a relatively successful 2023 season on a personal level.

He scored 9 goals and had 5 assists in just 13 appearances and contributed greatly to helping the "Red Battleship" stay in the league.

Despite his good performance, his contract with Ho Chi Minh City was not renewed after the 2023 season ended.

According to some sources, after leaving the Saigon team, Samson will go to HAGL for a trial.

But up to now, both sides have not officially commented on this issue.

Hoang Vu Samson is considered one of the best strikers in V-League history, scoring more than 200 goals after 16 seasons in Vietnam's top league.

He has won the V-League 3 times in Hanoi FC's shirt.

The striker born in 1988 has now become a Vietnamese citizen and has repeatedly expressed his desire to play for the national team.

After the 2023 season struggling to stay in the league, besides Hoang Vu Samson, Ho Chi Minh City also terminated the contracts with 3 other names: Ho Tuan Tai, Victor Mansaray and Daniel Green.

Currently, this team is said to be targeting many stars of Vietnamese origin to compete for higher positions next season.
