Hoang Vu Samson joins Buriram Club in Thai League

Naturalized striker Hoang Vu Samson has joined Buriram United. This is the information that Thai League Football reported on the evening of December 21.

Previously, the Thai media had reported that striker Nguyen Van Quyet, midfielder Nguyen Quang Hai of Hanoi FC and striker Nguyen Cong Phuong of HAGL were the names being targeted by the Golden Temple club. Most recently, there was even the captain midfielder of U23 Vietnam - Luong Xuan Truong.

In the end, all were "offside" when the name chosen was the number 1 striker of Hanoi FC - Hoang Vu Samson. This is considered an ambitious calculation of Buriram because as known, since the 2018 season, the Thai Premier League will expand the number of foreign players on the field. Accordingly, there will be 5 foreign players registered, including: 3 international foreign players + 1 Asian player + 1 player from the ASEAN bloc). Hoang Vu Samson currently has Vietnamese nationality, of course he will be able to play as an ASEAN player.

Hoang Vu Samson (formerly known as Samson Kayode Olaleye) was born in 1988 in Nigeria. This striker played for Than.QN (2007-2008) and Dong Thap (2009-2011). In 2011, Samson surprised many people when he was signed by Atletico Madrid in La Liga. However, soon after, this striker was loaned to Braga. Unable to find a place, Samson returned to Hanoi FC right after the 2011 season and has played for the capital team until now.

Hoang Vu Samson is considered the king of V.League when he made history by surpassing Le Cong Vinh's 112-goal mark.
