Nguyễn Quang Hải’s next destination is still a mystery. Photo baogiaothong.vn Peter Cowan Who doesn’t love a good transfer saga? While it may feel like football is now a 24/7, 365 day a year sport, there are in fact lulls in the beautiful game’s calendar. Transfer intrigue can often be a great way to fill in the interminable gaps between real football matches but the saga centred around Vietnamese football at the minute is one I could do without. Nguyễn Quang Hải left Hà Nội FC back in April, ostensibly to sign for a European club, and yet as June draws to a close, he still remains unsigned. Over the past few months various outlets have reported that the pint-sized playmaker is close to signing with Austrian, Swiss and now French clubs. Hải has been linked with no less than four clubs in the latter country’s Ligue 2, with breathless reports noting that he has his visa and is only awaiting a medical checkup. Again, transfer sagas can be great … [Read more...] about The Local Game: Just what is going on with Nguyễn Quang Hải’s transfer?

"It’s both a gamble and a nice move by Pau FC. The club have indeed chosen Nguyen Quang Hai for his potential and also for what he represents in Southeast Asia. With nearly 800,000 followers on Instagram and over 2.5 million likes on Facebook, the midfielder can attract not just the fans but also media and various sponsors," L’Equipe wrote. The famed newspaper called Hai the "Vietnamese Messi" and stated his presence would benefit Ligue 2. "For his first experience in Europe, he wanted to find a club that is capable of offering him playing time in the hope of a breakthrough and aiming even higher. He is sure to be one of the attractions of Ligue 2," it said. Hai is expected to undergo a medical in two days and sign his two-year contract with Pau FC, plus an optional year, making him the first-ever Vietnamese player to play in a pro league in France. In six seasons with his former club Hanoi FC, Hai played 126 matches, scored 35 times and won every domestic title and Vietnam … [Read more...] about Vietnam star midfielder good addition to French league: sports newspaper

Vladimir Siladi of Hà Nội (left) opened the score for his team in a V.League 1 match against Nam Định on Sunday. The game ended 1-1. Photo of VPF HÀ NỘI — Hà Nội FC coach Chun Jae-ho said his team would have to find a suitable playing style without midfielder Nguyễn Quang Hải who has left for international competition. Hà Nội missed their chance to top the V.League 1 table on Sunday after a 1-1 draw against hosts Nam Định at the Thiên Trường Stadium. Vladimir Siladi opened the scoring at the 68th, and Marcio Marques levelled for Nam Định 10 minutes later in the late round three match, which was delayed because of players' COVID problems. "Having Quảng Hải in the team is great. He is a smart and creative player who can control the ball or open attacks. But he has gone, so we need to build a playing style based on our current players," said coach Chun Jae-ho. Hải ended his contract with Hà Nội in April and left for France on June 27.

Vietnamese star midfielder Nguyen Quang Hai left for France on Monday morning after L’Équipe reported that he is on the verge of signing for Ligue 2 outfit Pau FC. Dubbed the 'Vietnamese Messi,' Quang Hai is expected to undergo a medical check-up upon his arrival in France ahead of signing an initial two-year contract, with the option to extend for a further third year, according to the L’Équipe ’s report on Sunday. If the deal is concluded, he will become the first Vietnamese footballer to be contracted to a French professional club.

The move is expected to attract major attention to Pau from Southeast Asia, it added.
