Thai football team is looking for Phan Van Duc, Manh Hung of SLNA is on trial in Da Nang

Thai media has just reported that the club playing in Thai League 1, Nakhon Ratchasima FC, has suddenly postponed signing a contract with Malaysian striker Shahrel Fikri to pursue Vietnam national team striker Phan Van Duc, who is playing very well in the AFF Cup 2018.

The Nghe An striker just had a wonderful 2018 with the Vietnam U23 team at the U23 Asian Cup earlier this year and the 18th ASIAD. At the AFF Cup 2018, he continued to play explosively and was the shining star of the Vietnam team.

In addition to the goal scored against Cambodia in the group stage, Phan Van Duc was the one who scored the decisive goal to defeat the Philippines 2-1 in the first leg of the semi-final at Panaad Stadium, creating a great opportunity for the Vietnamese team to win a ticket to the final when there is still time for the second leg at My Dinh Stadium.

Phan Van Duc’s impressive performance immediately caught the attention of Thai League teams. The top regional tournament from the 2019 season will allow each participating club to register 3 ASEAN players in the competition list. This means that Thai League clubs are eager to invite talented national players in the region to compete.

Nakhon Ratchasima FC is the first Thai League club to send out a message that they want to recruit Phan Van Duc. In addition, the mid-level team of the Thai National Championship is also targeting two other strikers who are playing very well in the AFF Suzuki Cup 2018, Nguyen Anh Duc (Vietnam) and Phil Younghusband (Philippines).

If they want to recruit Phan Van Duc next season, Nakhon Ratchasima FC will have a lot of work to do because the striker born in 1996 is currently under a youth training contract with SLNA. Moreover, the leaders of the Nghe An team and Phan Van Duc himself are not sure to agree to move to Thailand to play football at this time./.

(Baonghean.vn) - Not a genius striker like Anh Duc, not a classy free kicker like Quang Hai, nor a prodigy like Cong Phuong or Van Quyen, but Phan Van Duc possesses the rare qualities of a great player. With his own ability and desire, Phan Van Duc has conquered even the most difficult audiences.
