Revealing the player who acquired Vietnamese nationality after Xuan Son

After Xuan Son's success at the ASEAN Cup 2024, the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) is very open to the issue of continuing to naturalize to increase the quality of the national team, within the allowed limits. There are two bright names mentioned: Jason Quang Vinh Pendant ofHanoi Police Cluband Hendrio of Nam Dinh Club.

VFF Vice President Tran Anh Tu also revealed this: "After Xuan Son, we are aiming for Jason Quang Vinh Pendant. He is young and has the potential to contribute long-term to the Vietnam team. Quang Vinh also plays in the position that the team is lacking, which is left-back."

"The important thing is that after naturalization, Quang Vinh still needs to meet the requirements and evaluation of the head coach. After Xuan Son, we hope to have the service of Jason Quang Vinh Pendant, but we cannot know the exact time yet," Mr. Tu added.

Jason Quang Vinh was born in 1997, his father is French, his mother is Vietnamese. He was signed by Sochaux as a professional player in 2017, when he turned 20. In 2020, Jason Quang Vinh moved to play for New York Red Bulls in the US professional league. Many times, the former French U18 defender expressed his desire to play for the Vietnamese national team.

He joined Hanoi Police Club from the 2024/25 season and is currently a mainstay of this team in the left-back position, while Doan Van Hau has not recovered.

Mourinho could return to Premier League

Jose Mourinho has emerged as the frontrunner to replace Sean Dyche as Everton manager.

According to British media, the Portuguese strategist is likely to return to the Premier League this season. The new owner, The Friedkin Group, is said to be considering sacking coach Dyche as soon as next week.

Dyche admitted at a press conference ahead of the FA Cup third round tie with Peterborough United that Friedkin Group were considering replacing him. The US investors were clearly looking for a quick turnaround.

Mourinho's appointment could be seen as a huge shock, as Dan Friedkin, the billionaire owner of Friedkin Group and AS Roma, had sacked him just a year ago.

Man City buys strange striker to share scoring with Haaland

To share the scoring responsibility with Erling Haaland, Man City is aiming to buy the unfamiliar striker Omar Marmoush of Eintracht Frankfurt.

Omar Marmoush, 25 years old, Egyptian is playing very well in Bundesliga this season. After 15 matches, the striker of Eintracht Frankfurt has scored 13 goals and is second in the race for the Golden Boot, only behind Harry Kane (14 goals). In all competitions, this striker has scored 18 goals/24 matches.

This season, Man City stopped at the Carabao Cup and are having difficulties in both the Premier League and Champions League. Partly because Haaland seems to be overloaded and no longer himself.

Man City therefore really need a striker in good form to share the scoring burden with the Norwegian player.

Apart from the not-so-expensive price tag (around £50 million),Man City also has an advantage because Omar Marmoush is very eager for the opportunity to play in the Premier League, after what his compatriot Mo Salah has shown at Liverpool.

In addition to Marmoush, British media reported that Man City is also negotiating to recruit Lens center-back Abdukodir Khusanov to strengthen the defense./.
